Question NX Client not Connecting


Hey All,

Have this problem with NX Server (Free Edition) I installed the software(Node, Client, and Server) on my Fedora Core 5 box, and related codependent rpms, ran yum for any updates and everything appears to be OK. The NX Server reports running and SSH port 22 is open. I created a user to connect with (nxclient) and added it to the userdb with nxserver --adduser etc etc etc ...

When I try to connect using a Windows 2000 pro computer with the NX client, it connects, authenticated and then stops with "Host not Found" error??

I have tried to locate SOME reference to this on the WWW and have turned up 0% on all inquiries. The debugging info is as follows:

NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 2952
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options

sounds like you've an entry missing in your /etc/hosts file, that should read "127.0.0.1 localhost loclahost.localdomain"

That's it! Thank you so much It was driving me crazzy.... the localhost was switched with the machine name address i.e. 127.0.0.1 with 192.168.xxx.xxx

Thanks again!
