Will,

When freenx installs it generates new ssh key files.  You need to copy that
from your freenx server computer to your Windows computer, then import that
key into the new session in your Windows NX Client.

The key file is called: client.id_dsa.key

I think you can find it on the server at:
/var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/
