Cannot get FreeNX to connect
 

HomeMachine --> Firewall --> WorkMachine

On my work machine, I ran :
nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key --clean --purge

On my home machine, I installed lastest rpm from NoMachine.
ssh -L 3333:workmachine:22 user@firewall
nxclient (Setup everything, then try to connect to localhost:3333)

Here's the output I get (after what seems like a timeout):

Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Its probably not a direct solution but it may help. I had problems when I used freenx with the nomachines default key. So what I did is I just downloaded the the nomachines nx software, which is in my oppinion much nicer. Setup both computers with the nomachine key as you did before.

Then on the client, open the nomachine nxclient. Click configure or something like that. Then go to the advanced tab and select enable SSL encryption on all traffic.

Thats what did it for me.

Good luck!

Hi Frost33, Hi all,

I have the same issue like you. I just wondered whether you fixed your challange?

My setup
All firewall stuff on the MandyBox is switched off, so no issues with firewalls.
Once this works I'll move the 'to become a server' to an internet connection.
I performed a pretty clean install including the tag that adds the ssh-server.



I followed the installation procedure described at http://www.linux-tip.net/cms/content/view/216/6/

my output looks like this:
Thanks all,
