Well . . .

start by checking that you DO have the private key from the FreeNX server 
key pair set up in the nxclient,
either
the (default) nomachine one if you didn't generate your own
or
copy over the new key from the server if you did choose to generate your
own key pair, when you ran nxsetup

What exactly does it say ( on the client, in the log ). . . .

set logging to debug,  ie. 6

tho . . 

. . . probably you are not connecting at all.


To test your server you can try 

logging in to the server as your normal user, then running

        sudo su -l nx

at a command prompt
to see
if user nx logs in and finds its shell

yup, the original "ssh tunnel" connection is made by
         user nx
with a
         ssh key pair

then
your username and password are used to log in your user session
via the tunnel

Development ceased in 2008 tho' various people have fixed various
things since . . .
