Configuration > 3.2.6. XDCMP Chooser Options I added AllowAdd=true and Broadcast=true to the custom.conf file and DisallowTCP=false to the security section. I also open ports 177, 6000-6005 and 7100 in the host's firewall (not the router's) and restarted gdm but there was no change. If AllowAdd=true was being honored, there would have to be some way of adding a host but there isn't. I also note the the gdm reference manual has not been updated since 2004.
