Remote X, XDMCP, XWin problem

[Harold L Hunt II]

Hans,

Hold on, stop the presses...

You are using "Memphis", which is a beta (i.e., not supported) 
pre-release version of Windows 98:
http://news.com.com/2100-1001-201734.html?legacy=cnet

We cannot possibly support the various beta versions of software the 
Microsoft is constantly releasing.  I am sorry, but I think you are 
going to have to bite the bullet on this one and upgrade (or downgrade, 
I don't care) to one of Windows 95, Window 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 
Workstation 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

I would not doubt it one bit if the reporting of information for the 
installed network interfaces changed slightly or even significantly from 
Memphis betas to the actual Windows 98 release.  Anyone that tried 
supporting Windows 95 knows that it was notorious for losing or 
corrupting its own network configuration settings, so I am sure that a 
lot of work was done in Windows 98 to make those configuration settings 
less prone to corruption.

With all that being said, I am sure that someone will chime in that all 
Windows 98 versions released in Europe say Memphis when you run 
winipcfg... in which case I will have to eat my words.  I'll have you 
know that I like to eat my words, so come on and tell me :)
