I have installed a no machine server (3.2.0) on fedora (2.6.22) and a client on a windows machine (XP). I can get the SSH desktop connection only if both machines are connected to internet. If I try to get the SSH desktop only with a switch in between I cannot get it.

The NX Server needs to reach the DNS server. I saw a request to DNS server and if a reply does not come I cannot get the connection with the NX server. I tried to delete the DNS on fedora. If fedora cannot reach the DNS server I cannot get a SSH desktop connection.

Fedora needs to be connected to internet only in the begining. If I unplug the wire to internet when the SSH desktop is done. After that It works fine.

If I use a Nx desktop connection with TCP instead SSH I do not have such issue.

I tried to install again the nxserver and nxnode but that does not help.

Could be a software limitation with the NX server?

Thanks

Make sure the /etc/hosts file on your Linux installation has the IP and hostname of both the box itself, and you Windows machine.

It was that. Thank you very much.

In fact, It was the loopback address. I had the following line written

::1 localhost.domain localhost

Instead that one I put:

127.0.0.1 localhost.domain localhost

and I add the IP and hostname like you told me before. But even without the hostname of client and server it works.

Thank you again.
