[FreeNX-kNX] Freenx on Fedora 8 (Urgent)

First, I apologize for the "urgent" tag on this.  I prefer not to use 
it, but if there was ever a time to use it, I think this is it.  I'm at 
wit's end.

I am desperately trying to get nx running on Fedora 8 and have about 8 
hours before my 70 users expect me to have it working.  The packages 
which get installed when I "yum update freenx" are these:

freenx-server-0.7.2-8.fc8
nx-2.1.0-22.fc7

When I try to connect (I'm using the 3.2.0-9 nomachine client) it gets 
to "Downloading session information" and then gives me a "connection 
error" dialog. I am listing the contents of that dialog, the contents of 
the file it says to look at, and the contents of the nxserver.log file.  

I should say that I was using the CentOS 5 packages and they were 
working well until it just mysteriously broke over the weekend.  I'm 
switching to the F8 packages because I assume people would be better 
able to help if I am using the F8 packages.

This part jumps out at me:

Error: Call to bind failed for TCP port 6000. Error is 98 'Address 
already in use'.
