Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux

[Thomas Chadwick]

>I run "ipconfig" on the local Windows PC, which give me the current IP 
>(delievered from dhcp). Isn't that correct value to use?

That's not the correct value for 2 reasons...

1) Because you're using a VPN to access the remote machine, it probably is 
separated from the rest of the 'net by a firewall.  Try logging into the 
remote machine and pinging the local machine's IP address.  Do you get a 
response?

2) Even if the remote machine could reach the local machine via the 
DHCP-assigned IP address, doing so would circumvent the VPN (the X traffic 
would go _around_ the VPN instead of _through_ it).

You really need to talk to someone who is knowlegable about your VPN setup 
to help you figure out the IP address that's associated with the far-end of 
the VPN tunnel.
