NM v8.1.2 free
Wifi connect was instantaneous, but can’t seem to get connect thru internet.
Coming from High Sierra [10.13.6] MBA to Big Sur [11.7.1] Intel mini.
Both are Port 4000 NX protocol. Set a PF on the router.
Error: no route to the network or host 192…..was found. Issue could be wrong server ADR or network problem.
Should I be using the WAN instead of the LAN IP or ….?
The ADR that comes up in NM Setting is the LAN of the router, not the public IP.
November 10, 2022 at 11:32 #41356BritgirlKeymasterHello,
to be able to connect from outside your LAN, you need to use the public IP address of the computer you want to access. Please check the following articles if you have not already done so:
How to connect over the Internet (enable UPnP to automatically configure port mapping)
https://kb.nomachine.com/AR10T01175How to connect over the internet to NoMachine behind a NAT router
https://kb.nomachine.com/AR04S01122You can also check your External IP, for example, on whatismyip.com.
If this doesn’t help, please send a screenshot of the message you are receiving.
November 11, 2022 at 04:06 #41368FritzParticipantRealized after a fashion that I needed to use the PIP.
But perhaps that and/or the link should be in the built in help screen.
Working so far though
November 11, 2022 at 08:57 #41371BritgirlKeymasterBy PIP I suppose you mean “public” IP address? If so, then, it can be that your router doesn’t support UPnP. Or that our UPnP doesn’t support your router :-). Anyway this shouldn’t affect your ability to connect, even from the outside.
Please check my response to a similar post here: https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/are-my-settings-for-connecting-over-the-internet-ok#post-39243
Maybe you didn’t already see our online tutorial which is specifically for users connecting over the Internet.

November 14, 2022 at 10:15 #41389FritzParticipantI cannot toggle any of these settings.
Previously, the server wouldn’t launch.
I uninstalled/re-installed and the server works. But can’t toggle.Big Sur 11.7.1
November 14, 2022 at 10:16 #41400BritgirlKeymasterUnforunately, whatever image you pasted didn’t upload so we can’t see what settings you can’t toggle. Please use the attachment utility to include any screenshots in your follow-up. (i.e no pasting of images). Thanks.
November 14, 2022 at 14:12 #41414FritzParticipantattached … I hope.

What happens if you click the ‘Desktop shared’ button? What happens if you click ‘Restart/stop/shutdown the server’? Is this happening on your High Sierra or Big Sur?
November 22, 2022 at 17:10 #41593FritzParticipantBig Sur.
I can toggle desktop shared. But nothing else changes or toggles.
November 22, 2022 at 18:47 #41597BritgirlKeymasterThe “Desktop shared” label in the Server status (your image) is static, so it’s not possible to toggle “Desktop shared” there. You can toggle it either from the system tray menu or in the UI at the bottom on the right (see the the two images here: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00239#4.1 and https://kb.nomachine.com/DT07S00239#4.3). Can you toggle it from these two places?
Can you show us a short video which shows where you are clicking and what you are not able to interact with? Or a sequence of screenshots which show us the steps you are following?
November 25, 2022 at 13:08 #41644BritgirlKeymasterSo looking at the video you made available to us (thanks by the way).
When clicking those items (Restart server, shut down etc) you should see an authentication request dialog. This request is executed by a nxexec process checking credentials. For some reason this dialog is not appearing. Can you check whether clicking the link “Changes disabled” (bottom left) does nothing as well?
If nothing happens when clicking on that link, we would need to check client and nxexec logs from the affected machine.
For logs on macOS, please consult: https://kb.nomachine.com/DT11R00182. Enable logs, try to reproduce the problem and then gather the logs up. Send via email as you did before. Thanks!
November 25, 2022 at 14:25 #41645FritzParticipantChanges disabled – nothing
Quit NoMa – from the menu bar – nothing.
FWIW my pIP doesn’t show in the Main Window – UPnP is checked in the router. This doesn’t matter as I can always look up if ddns fails or something screwy happens.
Main Window and Service status are they same window? Coz that’s what I’m seeing.
macmini@Fritz-Mac-mini ~ % nxserver –debug –enable all
zsh: command not found: nxserverPerhaps I’m misunderstanding?
November 25, 2022 at 18:26 #41666BritgirlKeymasterHi Fritz, sorry I realised that in my reply the

are not showing in the command.In any case, you need to use the full path to the nxserver e.g
/etc/NX/nxserver/Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/bin/nxserver --debug --enable all
reproduce problem and then collect logs
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver/Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/bin/nxserver --debug --collect
then disable
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver/Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/bin/nxserver --debug --disable all

what am I doing wrong?
November 27, 2022 at 16:39 #41673FritzParticipanthere’s some more data.
Again, mini is running Big Sur. I have discovered that I cannot checkbox toggle:
Allow guest desktop sharing ….. server.
Make access available … login screen.
Though that probably makes sense considering the other issues.
