I would like to connect to my Linux workstation (running openSUSE 10.2)

configured according to: http://en.opensuse.org/FreeNX_Server_HOWTO.

I also downloaded and installed the NX client on the laptop.

However, when I try to connect from the laptop (which is on the same
network as the workstation) I get following message towards the end of the
connection process:

"The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the
state of your network connection."

The log in the NX client window also shows the following errors:

"Error: Failure reading from the peer proxy"
"Error: Connection with remote peer broken"

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? The info I've read make it
sound like this should be simple to set up, but it's not proving to be so.

Thanks for any help.

Had a similar problem last week on 32 and 64 bit Suse 10.2. After installing
a more recent version of FreeNX (0.7.0-8.1) and NX (2.1.0-126.1) from

http://software.opensuse.org/download/NX/openSUSE_10.2/

it worked on both systems. Clients were NoMachine nxclient V1.5 and V3.

Chris, Which version did you have on 64-bit Suse? NX v2.1.0-126.1? I
currently have FreeNX v0.7.0-8.1 on 64-bit openSUSE 10.2 (server) and
the version 1.5.0-138 NX client on my Windows XP laptop. But they still
can't connect. So I'm wondering whether I should remove FreeNX and
install the NX free version (from NoMachines' website) instead.

Any thoughts? -Pat
