If your problem is reproducible, it sounds like connections to your
Xserver from the network connection is not working....
Suggestions:
a) Look at the output of 'xhost' is your machine listed?
I suspect that your actuively working xterms have the DISPLAY set to
:0.0 which uses a unix domain socket and does not use the network.
b) Before trying rlogin, try
setenv DISPLAY slingshot:0
xterm
I bet that will fail for the above reason.
c) If what I say is true - as a workaround, you can do a
setenv DISPLAY :0.0
and that probably will work...
