Your help please...

[Thomas Chadwick]

Using the -query flag assumes that the workstation you are connecting to is 
running an XDMCP server.  My guess is that the workstation you are 
connecting to is not.  This HOWTO may be of some use:

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/XDMCP-HOWTO/index.html

If you are not in a position to get XDMCP running on the remote AIX 
workstation, you can still run Xclients remotely.  More info here:

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/mini/Remote-X-Apps.html

[Note that will have to explicity install the "inetutils" and "openssh" 
packages using Cygwin Setup to gain access to the telnet and ssh commands 
referenced in the above HowTo.]
