Assuming the machine is on the same subnet, it is not configured to
respond to XDMCP requests; on a Sun I believe the file is
/usr/dt/config/Xconfig I don't know what the HP config file is.

One question: do you know how to ssh to the HP box and export the graphical
display back to the sun? This is a preferred method as all your traffic
is encrypted between the hosts; I might suggest that since
colleagues/students with Linux/Unix boxes basically have packet sniffing and
analysis tools at their fingertips.
