RH turned off XDMCP completely in RH8 (I think) and 9 for security
reasons.

Enable XDMCP in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc (in case you
want to use KDE).

Comment out the last line of /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config.

Re-start X.

....and you should be able to connect unless you have a firewall in the
way.
