Hi Jonathan,

Bio-Linux comes with a firewall enabled, controlled by the standard ufw system.  You can configure it by using ufw on the command line or the graphical gufw application, but on a VM you probably just want to apt-get uninstall ufw completely and then check that all firewall rules are gone using 'sudo iptables -L'.

NX is supposed to work out-of-the-box and only needs port 22, same as SSH.  Do you get any other hints as to why NX fails?  Eg. anything in /var/log/auth.log on the VM?

Cheers,

TIM
