XDMCP error

[Scott Alexander]

Hi Harold,

Sorry for the confusion its been a bit blurry since the weekend but a few
coffees later and I'm better now.  I was talking about startxwin.sh(bat) as
you guessed.  Upon closer inspection I have modified this file at a previous
time and that's the reason that the remote connection was being made.

The workaround that you suggested works a treat.

Cheers.
Scott.
