I used Exceed in the past and had no problems. I run xdm on the server, supply the host name to exceed/xwin and make sure the screen setting is set to single, and the communication is set to query. It just sits at the grey/black screen.. it doesn't show the xdm login manager. anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong here? I tried it at work and home and got the same results. does freebsd need to be in a certain run level for this work (I also tried it on a linux server and got the same results).. but I didn't try putting the linux maching in a paticular run level yet. its not a firewall problem.. and netstat shows that 6000 port is listening.. I can connect to it via telent.. not sure what I am overlooking.. any help would be MUCH appreciated.. thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
