[FreeNX-kNX] Timing Out

Thu Aug 20 15:32:21 UTC 2009

Hi Andrew,

Maybe put a call out on the list about debugging nxssh. It looks like
nothing is getting through to the server.

It should help in eliminating the possibilities whether it is nxssh ,
routing / network problem or something else.
Sorry couldn't be more help :(
