I don't know much about spellcast, but my guess would be that you have
"-nolisten tcp" in your /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (or wherever X is
being started in your "derived" distro). Remove that, and see if it
works then... (don't forget to restart X).
Also, if this box is more than a simple playstation, I guess (or hope)
you are aware of security-related issues with "xhost +", are you?
