(edit)

Turns out the latest 2.0 version of the client from nomachine is not compatible with the version of freenx. You need to obtain the older 1.5 version of the client. For more info see my follow up post below.

Hey folks, anyone else have trouble getting the NX client to connect to your KnoppMyth box?

I followed the nxhowto wiki:
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NXHowTo

Running R5D1, firewall off on XP Pro laptop, (never fear, my cable modem was disconnected)

nxserver is in fact running:
Code:
root@mythtv:/etc# nxserver --status
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-02 OS_(GPL)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye

root@mythtv:/etc# nxserver --listuser
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-02 OS_(GPL)
NX> 146 NX users list

Username
---------------

mythtv

NX> 999 Bye



I installed the nxclient on my xp laptop with the following setup:

Code:
login: mythtv
passwd:mythtv
configure:
  Server:
  host:192.168.1.101 port:22
  Desktop:
    Unix, Custom
      settings:
          Run the following: xterm [tried fluxbox also
   Modem [even though it is on a LAN


and when I run it, it displays the following messages:

Code:
  Setting up the environment
  Waiting for authentication
  Authentication completed
  Negotiating link parameters
  (fairly large delay on this one then finally a new pop up:)
  Could not yet establish a connection the the remote
  proxy.  Do you want to terminate the current session?
  Yes  No


Not critical since putty works just fine but it would be handy to get this working.

Post subject:  You need the 1.5 version of nxclient for windows.

With some google-ing found the following:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_FreeNX_Server
which explains that the 2.0 version of the client on nomachine.com's site will not work with the latest version of freenx (on KnoppMyth).

Fortunately the above gentoo wiki has a pointer to the 1.5 version:
http://www.industrial-statistics.com/info/nxclients

Also this following post mentions that 2x.com also has a freenx (they simply call it linux nx) compatible client that is available for free (didn't try it since it is both a client and a server?) should the 1.5 version ever completely disappear:

For reference, here is another post that mentions the 2.0 freenx incompatibility:
