[K12OSN] NX works great . . . mostly!

Peter Sheie was spot in when he wrote that NX is so much better than VNC
. . . when it works. Even over a wireless connection with my laptop the
screen response is comparable to being on a local console. I have
successfully connected to an ltsp server running Fedora 5 and a
PCLinuxOS 0.93 workstation. I even had a good NX connection to a
FreeBSD 6.1 box before it mysteriously quit working and now refuses to
reconnect. Getting NX to work seems a mostly hit or miss proposition.
I am using Rick Stout's patched versions of freenx and nx for Fedora,
available at:
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/
Getting the ssh validation with public/private keys is relatively
straightforward. But another ltsp server running Fedora 3, I get only
timeouts no matter how I tweek it. Validation completes, but it never
negotiates a link. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times,
but to no avail.
Anyone else having this kind of problem? Moreover, anyone have a clue
as to what I should try next?
