I currently have XDMCP running well on my local network, in that computers on my home network can use it to access other computers. However, when I try to connect via WiFi & VPN, one computer that works well on the local lan, cannot connect. I've used ethereal to see what's happening. In the list below, the letters A & B indicate the source of the packets. "A" (10.x.x.x address) is a notebood connected via WiFi & VPN and "B" (192.168.x.x) is my main desktop system. Both systems are SUSE 10.0. Ethereal, running on both the notebook and desktop shows the following. A XDMCD Query B XDMCP Willing A XDMCP Request B XDMCP Accept A XDMCP Manage (repeats 7 times) B XDMCP Failed. So, it's obvious the two systems are communicating, but unable to run an X session. Is there something that prevents a routed connection from working? Perhaps an address range issue? Other ideas? tnx jk
