XDM: too many retransmissions - with Linux Mandrake

[Jeremy Wilkins]

Hi,

I'm trying to get X to connect to linux mandrake running in a virtual
machine (sadly I don't have access to multiple computers). I'm using the
command line
    Xwin -once -query linux -from nt

but X times out with the error XDM: too many retransmissions.

It seems that the linux box is refusing the XDMCP connection.

The archives and FAQ both state that I only need to change the [Xdmcp]
section in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file to Enabled=true. Which I have
done. But still no luck, I've also tried modifying the settings for xdm,
setting the port to connect to as 177, and moving the /usr/bin/kdm program.

My Xaccess file should allow direct connections from any machines (that
seems to be the default setup).

Any thoughts?

Jeremy
