Have you tried moving the client that works to the subnet that doesn't (and vice versa) just to test that it is indeed the subnet and not the individual client causing the problem?
I am not really an expert on this, but I would also check to see if there is any difference between the DNS entries for the two hosts. I have seen some wierd things like this that have been fixed by either installing or fixing a DNS.

Subject: Problem with XDMCP-Access from a different subnet
Hi list!
I've got a problem concerning XDMCP-remote access on a linux box.
There a client accessing this server via XDMCP. When I start the request
from the same subnet (192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0), everything works fine. I
get the login window and can start to work.
But when I start the request from another subnet (192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0)
nothing happens and the request seems to be timing out. I got the following
error: "XDMCP fatal error: Session failed Session ... failed for display
pcname:1: cannot open display". Are there additional access controls for
subnets?
Both computers can reach each others without problems.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks
J. Wolfgarten
