XDMCP non reachable

Hello people,

I installed Virtualbox on my Ubuntu host and I installed Arch in my guest machine.

The network in the guest IS working: during installation it downloaded all the packages; I can even ping it from the host.

I'd say the network is working.

BUT

I configured gdm in order to listen for XDMCP calls and NOT to try to start any local X server.

I'm planning to use Xnest on my Ubuntu Host, so the guest doesn't need to have a X server. Does it ?

Well, when I fire up Xnest, it can't find any XDMCP service on the network neighborhood. The XDMCP service of my guest machine doesn't show up !

I looked in hosts.allow and hosts.deny and allowed ANY connection from ANYWHERE just to be sure, but still, I can't see mu XDMCP service.

What am I missing ?

Thanks for any help

Re: XDMCP non reachable

I forgot, I also made a portscan from the Host to the guest and found 2 open ports:

111   open  sunrpc
887  open  unknown

hope this helps

Thanks
