    I have installed freenx on one of my linux server (FC7)

    and try to connect it using NXclient from my PC ( windows XP)

    but it gives error, it passed authenication but during downloading session it failed.

    so to see that NXserver (freeNX) is working on FC7, I installed FC7 and NXserver on another my PC with the same configuration, and I could connect to second PC via my first one.

    what is the problem in your opinion?

    I appericiate your help :eek:

    great question. Seeing as nobody stepped up yet - I'll give it shot...

    Don't hate me if this won't help, I'm too much of a nerd to take the rejection....

    ...

    Can you use VNC for whatever your doing? (probably a stupid question, yet I gotta ask).

    Without knowing what you're trying to do, it's tricky...

    I've avoided headaches using VNC when connecting the Linux and Windows together...

    As you're fully aware - Connecting into windows from Linux is not a problem with any software ..but the other way around is tricky without current versions of VNC (and extras) on both sides to fully authenticate with each other...

    A simple handshake isn't good enough, your machines need to be swapping spit and that takes a longer than a standard RDC would (couple minutes with my machines).


    Could there be an alternative we're both missing???

    Man, don't hate me if this response doesn't help.

    All hail Linux.

    I solved the problem myself and I can log in a linux server through FreeNX.

    and it works great.
