Hello. I've got slackware running on an old desktop, using it primarily for printing and as network storage. I was recently looking into different remote desktop type programs, so as to have my desktop available from different places. FreeNX looks like my best option, speed-wise, but I can't get it working.
There was a package on slackware.it/en, and I installed it, and everything seems happy, but when I try to connect it times out. The server is slackware 10.2, and I've tried to connect from both Windows XP and this laptop (which is also Slackware 10.2... I've had a good time getting things working, but this time I don't seem to have any success with google.)
here's the feedback from the client. i don't really know what to do on the server... afraid i'm still too newbie at this.

also, sometimes the bits about session not starting and session startup failing are omitted.
on my desktop (winxp) it hangs at "setting up the x environment" but i'm not totally sure that's relevant, because i've got some weird ethernet card problems on there... in any case, thanks for any help
