Trying to login the server from client and i'm getting error message:

"The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host 76.280.250.93."

I can do a ssh -x bob at 76.280.250.93 and connect to server from client.

freenx and nx is installed on FC8-x86_64 server and FC8-i386 client  has nxclient-3.1.0-2 installed and 

/nxserver/client.id_dsa_key is copyied into nxclient-3.1.0-2 on client box.

What am I not doing right ??
