The Xwin.log says:

Fatal server error:
XDMCP fatal error: Session declined No valid address

And yes I have read the FAQ and used the -from flag. There aren't any errors 
in the xdm logs, so I tried to run the xdm in debug:

xdm -udpPort 6556 -nodaemon -debug 10 -config 
/usr/openwin/lib/xdm/xdm-config-debug

/dev/fb: No such file or directory
Graphics Adapter device /dev/fb is of unknown type

Fatal server error:
InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fb

XKillClient 0x80019c
XKillClient 0x8001a2

xdm error (pid 13048): fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe)

Tried the above a couple more times and it fired up the logon screen on the 
windows 95 machine, but I couldn't really tell from that why running the xdm 
from the win95 machine was failing. There weren't any errors produced in the 
logs either. Is the error above about the Graphics Adapter device 
significant?

Anyway I did a snoop and there's definitely network traffic going on.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks,

JS.
