[plug] Re: Fedora Core 3 and XDMCP (connecting from FC3 to Remote)

[Quintin Lette]

I solved my own problem, and feel like an idiot after 3-4 days of
searching on google.

The standard fedora firewall was blocking it, considering I didn't
remember enabling it I didn't even think of that..

Oh well, problem solved.

Cheers
