I'm trying to connect remotely from a Windows 7 computer to a Linux (Ubuntu) server.

I like to use XDM; using Xming on the Windows 7 machine.

I configured ubuntu to allow connecting but getting hung

Thu Nov 29 16:44:20 2012 xdm info (pid 2063): Starting X server on 192.168.1.6:0
Thu Nov 29 16:46:20 2012 xdm error (pid 3576): Hung in XOpenDisplay(192.168.1.6:0), aborting
Thu Nov 29 16:46:20 2012 xdm error (pid 3576): server open failed for 192.168.1.6:0, giving up
Thu Nov 29 16:46:20 2012 xdm error (pid 2063): Display 192.168.1.6:0 cannot be opened
Thu Nov 29 16:46:20 2012 xdm error (pid 2063): Display 192.168.1.6:0 is being disabled

In wireshark I'm seeing MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE being sent from the linux server but I thought connecting via XDM MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE isn't passed. Is this correct?
