[FreeNX-kNX] Re: Using NX with VNC (Tim Rice)

Hi Tim,

If you can install FreeNX on another machine in the same subnet (and 
preferably the same physical location), you should be all set:
1. connect via NXClient to this machine
2. from this machine, run VNCviewer (or use the built-in VNC connect 
option of the NXclient, if that works for you - I've seen it work, and 
I've seen it fail) to connect to the VNC-Server.

That way, the FreeNX server will act as a proxy for your VNC session, 
and you should see a speed/performance improvement.
(VNC works reasonably well when used in the same local area network, 
it's the small-bandwidth connections where NX *really* makes a difference)

Kind Regards,
Stefan
