The root of the problem seems to be that xdm was binding to udp6 (as in udp on ipv6) ONLY, and I'm using a regular ipv4 network. The solution in xdm's case was to add "LISTEN 0.0.0.0" to the top of "/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess". I suspect that my problem with gdm may be similar, but I haven't verified that. I'm reinstalling the system right now, so I'll check and see if gdm is only binding to udp6 when it's back up. If that did happen to be gdm's problem, how could I instruct it to listen on regular udp as well? There doesn't seem to be an Xaccess file in /usr/local/etc/gdm. ~ Nathan
