Hey! I connect remotely to my Ubuntu server from Vista machine. Now I need to run a GUI application on the server (Wireshark). So I decided to use FreeNX server/client to view Ubuntu GUI on Vista

I have successfully installed FreeNX on Ubuntu and NX Client on Vista. I was following this guide

Unfortunately, now I found myself stuck with the following problem.

At the client, the !M logo window appears, but after a few seconds that window just closes, even without showing any error message.

Guys, I'm really stuck, please help! Maybe I should have installed some graphical environment on the server?

These are the details from NX client, it seems there are no errors.
