Xwindows uses tcp even at the console. If you sign on at the other machine, you will see that you are using tty02 and ttyp1 at the same time.
Try logging on at tty03 and typing "startx" at the command prompt.
I am assuming that you are never actually getting completely logged on if the session only lasts 30 seconds.
You could also use custom to re-install the xwindow portion of the operating system
