Hi All
Britgirl , I am not complaining. Like I said “Beggars can’t be choosers”
I am a Dutch / Australian on contract in southern usa (Arkansas) , so, yes timezones are way out.
Also I am used to automatic Forums where there are no people involved in the registration or moderation of posts (other then the posters).
Either way many thanks for a great product and the responses.
Regards

The message was “Authentication Failed”
The problem was trying to connect to Win7 which was an Administrator account.
As soon as I created a normal user the connection succeeded.
It still would not allow a connection without password, but solved that by allowing Win7 to boot up into the normal user account (with password) automatically.
Tried to switch user to Admin but NoMachine would not let me. So then had to share all the apps across to the other user.
Awesome product, just a shame that it takes two days to get your first post on line and then another two days before anyone bothers to reply, but hey beggars can’t be choosers.
It is a Freebie after all.
Regards
I now have a Headless Fitlet with just a crossover Ethernet cable to carry around.

In addition to the information above:
I am using the latest Free version and the same product on both machines.
The Linux PC uses Cinnamon and the Win 7 is Pro SP1.
Both PC’s have keyboards & Monitors for the setup purposes.
Since posting I have been able to connect to the Linux pc from the Win7 pc,
but not the other way around. Have also changed Win 7 to include a password, but it still fails on the password.
I can’t use a password once it is working.
Regards
