It shouldn't have, I haven't tested it but if connections between XFree and 
x.org break it's a bug. Nothing changed in the protocol

Make sure firewalls on both machines are accepting connections. Remember there 
are two connections being made in xdmcp: one from the local machine to port 
177/udp on the remote, and one from the remote to port 6000+<server 
number>/tcp on the local (so in  your example, with server number :1, it 
would be tcp port 6001 on your local machine)
