Assuming you are using inetd, edit the inetd.conf file and change the "-broadcast" statement to "-query localhost". Currently it is hitting the wire and looking for XDMCP broadcasts but you don't appear to want that (just like I don't). The new option tells Xvnc to connect to the the local XDMCP port.
Otherwise it is possible (I assume) to continue using the -broadcast option but get the chooser configured correctly so that instead of just giving you the Xlogin of the first remote box it finds, it should give you a choice of all visible broadcasting XDMCP hosts to choose from (which should include all boxes in the broadcast radius), but I have never spent time and figured out how to do that.
