Data FreeNX on FreeBSD

Hello !
I just installed FreeNX on my FreeBSD box following this tutorial ( http://www.averageadmins.com/blog/20...eebsd/#more-49 ). It sounds quite simple, and I've got no errors during installation.
I installed NX client on my WindowsXP station and I try to connect. When I try to connect to FreeBSD box using NX client it makes the connection and waits for authentication ("Waiting authentication"). This is how it stays until I get the "Connection timeout" message.
I tryed to connect in diferent ways... with/without SSL encryption... using port no. 22 (ssh) or 23 (telnet - it doesn't even connect).
What I noticed and it sounds a little bit weird is this:
Code:
root@server# ps aux | grep nx

root@server#

Any ideea why I'm not able to connect ? On NX client I set the Desktop UNIX and the GUI Custom ("Run the default X client script on server"). Could be this problem beacause I only have XFce4 on the FreeBSD machine ?
So... this would be the situation... If I forgot to mention something, just let me know.
Thanks!
