List, I am mailing this here as I think this problem may be a firewall problem. My rig: Pentium4 running SUSE Linux 8 Standard Server, single integrated network card. I have installed the standard SUSE 8 server installation. I am using the server within a secured corporate network. I managed to get XDMCP working a few days ago (for remote desktop logins to the server). I reloaded the server to change my partitions and now I find that no matter what I do I cannot get XDMCP to work anymore. - I have made the relevant/standard XDMCP changes required. (I have run XDMCP on SUSE before and on Red Hat Linux) - I am using Cygwin32 client on PC. I have used this same installation of Cygwin32 to connect to SUSE before and to connect to Red Hat so I know it works. - I have the firewall disabled on my PC (XP is my OS) - I have disabled the Firewall on the Linux box using YaST2 - I have enabled Remote Graphical Logins in YaST2 (I note that this checkbox always unchecks itself when I return to the YaST2 screen - I assume this is a security related thing). Query: I have noted that SUSE8.0 Standard Server offers a standard server installation and a 3rd party installation option. Is there any difference in the firewalling and the firewalling settings between the two installations? Can anyone offer me any advice? I am going crazy...

List, solved my own problem by searching the list [suse-kde]. SUSE 8.x does not use the kdmrc settings file at: /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc instead the enabling of XDMCP is set in the file located at: /etc/opt/share/config/kdm/kdmrc here one changes: [Xdmcp] Enable=true Thanks..
