XDMCP Again

I cannot get Xfree86 XDMCP to work correctly between a Windows 2000 box and 
Solaris, HP/UX 11.0 or a Linux box.  In looking at the archives, lots of 
others have had similar problems but I haven't seen any solutions to this 
point.  Connecting to a Solaris 7 or 8 (dt) box hangs the server and the 
cursor locks up. Connecting to a HP/UX 10 or 11 (dt) system hangs the 
server after the wait cursor shows up and the cursor is alive. Debian Linux 
appears to need additional configuration to get working as no response 
occurs. I have looked at the usual suspects such as the Xaccess file and 
they are configured correctly. Commerical X servers running on other PCs 
are working fine (except for the Debian (kdm) box). Anyone have success 
using XDMCP with Solaris, Linux or Hp boxes? What command line options are 
you using to start the X server on the PC and what did you have to 
configure on the Unix side?

BTW, Running the Xsession manually works fine in all the configurations.
