I have found that the easiest way is, don't run startx, instead in your
rc.local file put these 2 lines at the end

/path.../xdm
/path.../xhost +

then x-win32 will see your linux box as an xdmcp server, when you connect
you will be presented with a login screen.

the other advantage to this is if you reboot linux then you dont have to
touch the console before you connect from nt (this was usefull in my case
as the linux box was on a different level at work :-) )

hope this helps,

Doy
