Solaris 10x86, How to get remote X sessions to work?

I just installed Solaris 10 - 10/08 x86 and want to be able to connect remotely from either my other Sparc Sun box or Xwin32 or Cygwin-X to it. For some reason unlike my Solaris 10 Sparc install the X for remote does not seem to be running or working properly. What do I need to do to make this work so I can remotely display X from this machine on another?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

PS - I have tried the following below, still doesn't work:

netservices open
xdmcp enabling (but this is not enbaled on my Sparc and it still remotely displays X)
# svccfg -s cde-login setprop dtlogin/args = \"\"
# svcadm refresh cde-login
# svcadm restart cde-login
==================================================================
# svcs -l application/graphical-login/cde-login
fmri svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default
name CDE login
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Sun Jan 11 12:06:10 2009
logfile /var/svc/log/application-graphical-login-cde-login:default.log
restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
contract_id 98
dependency optional_all/none svc:/application/opengl/ogl-select (online)

It might be possible your system was configured to be "secure by default". In that case remote X11 access is disabled.
You can check if it is by running that command:
Code:
svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server listprop options/tcp_listen

If false is reported, you can enable tcp listening with that command:
Code:
svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true

Did you restart the X server ?

What says "netstat -an | grep 6000" ?

Yes I did I also posted on another forum and someone said that the file:

/etc/dt/config/Xaccess

I should add the host that is trying to connect... I did that and rebooted and it worked so who knows, but it works Smilie

Thanks for the help!
