Exceed is the server, XFree86 is running the client. XFree86 is running on
my FreeBSD box, Exceed is running on my windows box.

My FreeBSD server (eldar)

on eldar

the eldar is the X client

Exceed is a X server to be used in windows

it used to work until i lost my dhcp lease and since then it doesn't work
anymore.

The reason i'm looking at the freebsd machine, is because it doesn't work
on both my workstation (which i was using at the time of the dhcp
incident) and on my laptop which i wasn't using at that time. Since the
dhcp incident the Xserver never gives a login prompt, but it does pop up
the chooser.
