I have RedHat 7.3 and just updated the kernal. Now after I log in and type "startx" I get a msg..."client 2 rejected from local host". Why is it doing that and how can I get X-window to run?

How did you configure your new kernel? If it was the first time you updated the RH 7.3 kernel and you just entered make menuconfig or make xconfig, you will not get all the settings that were present in the existing 2.4.18-3 kernel. You'll end up with a stripped down kernel with only the options you set. That could be why X isn't working properly.

The first time I update a kernel in RH 7.3, I load one of the config files found in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/configs. They will give you the settings the Red Hat kernel came with. You can make whatever modifications you want to it.
After that, if you recompile the kernel, the .config file will exist and you'll have all the previous settings from your kernel.
