Hi All,

Time to try it...

Now I get...

===============================

So that's where I am at now..

I think the "Warning: Cookie mismatch in the authentication data."
might be the clue..  sorry if I am missing something simple but as
stated this is my first experience with FreeNX..

Any advice?  Please and thanks.  :)
