made a great deal of sense to me...

downloaded and installed nxclient on my WinXP desktop

opened up putty, connected to srv1 and copied contents
of /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key to the key inside of the nxclient
application configuration on the Windows system and then checked the
'enable SSL encryption for all traffic' (just like I did for nxclient on
Linux) and had the same connection issue and of course, nothing logged.

The issue has to be with the freenx package.
