I did copy the id from the server into the windows client, so I think I'm 
okay there.

On the Linux, server side: 
nx-1.5.0-0.centos4
freenx-0.4.4-1.centos4

The Windows client is 1.5.1-103

The only way I've goten it to work so far is with KNoppix. The latest 
Knoppix DVD has an NX server on it. I ran it and entered a password, then 
could log in from a linux nx client.
