Chris, I use puTTY on my Windows XP box and I have enabled X forwarding over SSH in puTTY so that the transmission is secure. In conjunction with puTTY, which provides the SSH tunneling, I then use Cygwin/X to provide the X client on my Windows box. This provides me with a shell and a the ability to run X apps on my Windows desktop. If you are not concerned about security (because you are working on a trusted network, if you are running windows then you should always be worried about security) then you could just use Cygwin/X to connect to the GDM login. If you are not getting a login then there are is a tutorial at Cygwin's website that will walk you through the setup of the gdm.conf file on the server and the command line options for starting the X client to connect to your server. -- Have Fun, Job Remember to always remove redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx from any of your auto-reply email messages.

From my WindowsXP machine I can successfully telnet to the machine. I can also create xterm windows using an application package on my Windows machine called WebTermX. My problem is when I try to use WebTermX to create an XDMCP session to the Linux machine. When I choose to create an XDMCP session I *do* see the Linux machine in the list of available servers. When I select it I *do* get a login box that has tabs for things like 'Session', 'Language', etc. The problem is that after I enter a valid username/password I never get anything else back! It just goes "out to lunch" -- nothing. No windows. No errors. No nothing. Can anyone give me a pointer to a troubleshooting guide or maybe offer a suggestion? Maybe it's something as simple as the WebTermX (and accompanying X Server) doesn't work with Linux's gdm? If so can someone give a recommendation on what they use? Thanks!
