Question Authentication Failure while Connecting to NXServer

Hello All,

I am having trouble connecting to a Fedora 16 Server using NX Client for Windows 7. It gives the following error:

Code:
NX> 203 NXSSH running with pid: 7124
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.1.149 on port: 22
NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 204 Authentication failed.

followed by this:

Code:
The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host 192.168.1.149.

When I run the "nxserver -- status" command I get the following:

Code:
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.5.0-61
NX> 900 Connecting to server ..
NX> 204 Authentication to NX server failed.
NX> 110 NX Server is stopped
NX> 999 Bye

But when I try to start it, it says the service is already running!

Code:
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.5.0-61
NX> 500 ERROR: Service already running
NX> 999 Bye

This doesn't make a lot of sense. The two computers on the same local network. I used the instructions on CentWiki for setting up the NXServer.

Anyone know what the problem may be? I am guessing this is related to NX Authentication somehow. Smilie

Thanks,
Pete
