Problem with NX : Server not installed or NX access disabled

[cHeAp_PeTe]

Hi

I have just installed NXserver on Fedora 4 and NX Client on a Windows XP machine. I used the tutorial posted by Rick Stout on FedoraNEWS.org

I did everything it says, but my problem is that I always get this error "Server not installed or NX access disabled" when I try to connect.

Can someone help me?

It sounds like your firewall may be preventing the conneciton.
Try disabling iptables as root: "/sbin/service iptables stop"
then see if you're able to complete the connection.
If it works, add the ports for nx server to your iptables config file and try the same with the firewall enabled: "/sbin/service iptables start"

NX uses SSH port 22 that can be configured via the FC4 Security Level GUI [Desktop | System Settings | Security Level].

you might find the following Fedora EasyLinux site useful to understand the basic functionality of SSH

Howto SSH (http://easylinux.info/wiki/Fedora#How_to_SSH_into_remote_Fedora_machine)

For example, download PuTTY and test that you can SSH into your FC4 box. Once you get SSH working you should be okay to use NX.
