Hi,

I forgot to post. My problem got resolved (accidentally). It had (for some reason had to do with the router). The problem is, XDMCP tries to get to port 177 on the local host. For some reason, it is going thru the router and my router was blocking it. My mistake was I upgraded Ubuntu AND changed my router at the same time. I ended up moving back to my old router.

To test to see if you have the same problem... please remove the network chord and try vnc-ing into local machine and it works fine.
The curx of the issue is port 177 on the host needs to be reachable from the client.

Hope this helps.
