The Frustration Of Setting Up New Machines
 

Its been about a year since I setup a centos machine to use as a localhost for some testing* and I have to say... how easily one forgets some of the basics. 6 hours later... machine setup the way I need it* but still struggling to get the nx server working. I have all my machines at home rack mounted and isolated to on spot* so everything is very neat and tidy with no systems sitting on or under benches* so I remote in and out of the machines as I need too. Our main server I setup here is Windows* so no problems... but my play servers and test servers I use for web development* all Linux obviously. I had used VNC in the past* though been advised that nxserver is the better tool to use for going between a Windows and Linux environment* apparently faster than VNC...

So because I am currently stuck... I thought I would just vent my frustrations here to maybe get my mind onto the small issue or something that I am missing. I am hoping someone who is familiar with nxserver may have some little tidbit I am missing. My network runs through a D-Link 10/100/1000 switch* so no internal IP issues with router porting or the like between systems* and the modem is cable which sits independently.

The error I get is "The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host 192.168.0.100"* obviously being the servers IP.

Frustrating... to say the least. Maybe just easier to revert to VNC!!!
