Has nothing to do with xhost, I've tried all
variations.
Normally the X server doesn't listen for XDMCP, or any other connection
for that matter.
You have to setup gdm to accept XDMCP requests. For RH4 this is in
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, I don't know how RH3 XDMCP was configured.
On the Windows (I presume it's Windows as you mention Hummingbird)
client you need to be sure that the client firewall is not blocking the
X ports. Depending on how you configure any firewall on that client this
may be an issue. Check the firewall. At the very least you need to be
able to receive connections on port 6000 originating from those two
machines. Without that the XDMCP login screen can't be posted. Also
check that the firewall isn't blocking outgoing connections to the XDMCP
port, 177, on those machines.
