setting up an x server for remote clients

[ndelo]

What do I need to do on my linux box to let windows hosts connect to it and run an X-desktop. I am using X-Win32 5.0 on my win2000 machine and am trying to connect to my linux box to display my KDE. I have executed xhost host_ip, but the server keeps refusing my connections. I believe X-Win32 is set up correct. What do I need to do on the server? I am using SuSE 7.0. This is my first attempt at doing this so I'm basically in the dark and need a push in the right direction. The man pages aren't helping me as much as I would have liked.

There is a commercial product from Hummingbird called eXceed that runs on Win32 and gives you KDE/Gnome etc. display.

There's also VNC server and viewer which runs on many platforms. Do a search at freshmeat.net for VNC.

They both work well, although VNC is free.

For connecting from Linux/Unix to X, I just use Xnest which also gives me the full GUI from either Linux or AIX/CDE.

Both eXceed or Reflection work nicely. (but both are commercial) I haven't tried VNC yet, but it looks cool.

How is x-win32 setup?

What method is it using? rsh/rexec/xdmcp?

Obviously rsh or rexec need to be installed and enabled (probably in /etc/inetd.conf), but I'm not sure about xdmcp.
