I have installed xmanager on a second client, and from that client the linux connection works.

I do think this is strange. There are som differences between the 2 client, mostly due to hardware that are different, but they are on the same lan (sharing the same lan switch also), and both are running windows 2000.

Try to add first machine ip to the /etc/hosts file

Thanks,
