[FreeNX-kNX] Authentication failed.

[Jay Paulson]

Well I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times on both my work
machine and home machine.  I still get the same problems even when I use
the nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key.

These keys you speak of even when using the --setup-nomachine-key option
do I need to so something with them?

It seems to me that if I install the nx client on my home machine like the
installation guide says and then run the nxsetup with
--setup-nomachine-key option.  Then I download the nx client to my work
machine to try and connect to my home machine it should work correctly. 
However, I still get the same error message as I described below.
