I found these files in /var/gdm, they are encrypted
ares -WinXP box that won't get a login prompt
dlvap- the Win2Kbox, he can login just great
kirklaptop- the WinXP laptop that I tried to connect with a few posts back,
won't get a login prompt
ngc-d4o1xu3vg29- my WinXP system, won't get a login prompt
[root@gaia gdm]# ls

I have tried the following command:
$ XWin :1 -query 137.51.14.130 -from 137.51.14.54
IP of the WinXP box for -from and no luck
The only difference between the Win2K box and the WinXP boxes that I have
not mentioned so far is that the guy on the Win2K box is part of the
corporate Windows domain, and all the other WinXP clients I have mentioned
are not. I don't know if this makes a difference. From my WinXP box in
question, I can ping the linux box, I can SSH to the linux box, I can do a
nslookup on the IP for the linux box. Here's my tracert from the XP box to
the linux box:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>tracert 137.51.14.130
Tracing route to 137.51.14.130 over a maximum of 30 hops
1 1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 137.51.14.130
Trace complete.
Rember, this is my first time working with Cygwin. After installing a full
Cygwin install, is there some configuration for the Xserver (my WinXP
Xclient in this case) that I must do? Something you experts have overlooked
since its so obvious. In my WinXP C:\Cygwin\etc folder thare two files,
"hosts.allow" and "hosts.deny". Am I supposed to have done something with
them? Are there other examples of something that needs configuring on the
"client" side?
