I've been trying to find out why Xming (on Windows) no longer works with XDMCP on SUSE, though it is possible to start an X app, using ssh etc. In comparing Xming with a Linux system connecting with XDMCP, I see the Windows box is using port 1039 as the source UDP port for XDMCP, whereas Linux uses a port over 55,000. Wireshark shows UDP port 1039 as "Streamlined Blackhole", but a Google search doesn't turn up much useful info. Is that port number what's causing the problem? Does anyone know what "Streamlined Blackhole" is?
The source port number is not relevant for [the functioning of] a network socket. For some applications you can choose a range to use, e.g. the passive FTP port range for vsftpd, but normally it's left up to the kernel's discretion. Theo -- Theo v.
