In the meantime, we have new Ethernet switches which I suspect may have triggered the problem? (a colleague who is using the SAME set-up she had previously used successfully can no longer connect either) It only seems broke for SuSE 9. The HP-UX and SuSE 8 machines are all ok. The SuSE 9 machine is using KDM and it is set-up to accept external connections.

XMDCP is very sensible with correct DNS resolution. Make sure 192.168.10.109
has an DNS hostname which does correctly resolve to 192.168.10.109.
