It must be something different. In investigating on it. 
Can you please run the binary from 
http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/XWin-emu3.exe.bz2
It has some extra output related to the xdmcp problem. There should be 
some lines like this:
Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = eth0, addr = 192.168.26.214

can you ples send these lines and any information related to installed 
and configured network components (modems, network cards...)

bye
