[FreeNX-kNX] nxclient stopped working

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

Hi
  I have two machines say A, B. Previously I was able to access machine A from 
machine B using nxclient. But recently it stopped working and I have been 
trying to find out the reason behind this. So far there is no luck!

Here are the configuration details.

Both machine A, B run Debian Etch (testing). But are not updated regularly. So 
they might contain some old packages...

on machine B, I have
$ /usr/NX/bin/nxclient --version
NXCLIENT - Version 1.5.0-141

Copyright (C) 2001, 2005 NoMachine.
See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information.

on machine A, I run
$nxserver --version 
NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-45-SVN OS (GPL)
Usage: nxserver <option>
--passwd: Change password
$sudo nxserver  --status
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.4.0-45-SVN OS (GPL)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye



the nxserver comes from freenx package is installed from
deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/kanotix/unstable/ sid nx

From machine B, when I try to connect to machine A, the errors are

Any ideas as to what could be wrong and how to get nxclient working? 
Previously I posted this problem on 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/11/msg01938.html but have not had 
any luck.

thanks
