Three joined pipes indicates a computer that is being broadcast on your local network: See figure 3 in the tutorial here: https://www.nomachine.com/finding-other-nomachine-computers-on-the-same-network.
If you are the admin of that computer showing up on the network, you can disable the broadcast feature using the same tutorial. If you are not and you don’t want to see broadcast computers on your LAN, you can check the box in the Player settings ‘Don’t show other computers on the network’.
(Player preferences -> Appearance).You have enabled broadcasting to let other computers discover you on the local network.
There are two ways to disable the ‘Advertize on the network’ feature. Uncheck the box in Fig 1 in the tutorial here:https://www.nomachine.com/finding-other-nomachine-computers-on-the-same-network
Or you can disable it in the server.cfg file on the server host:
# Enable or disable broadcasting the required information to let
# other computers discover this host on the local network.
#
# 1: Enabled. Other computers on the local network can find
# this host machine.
#
# 0: Disabled. This computer cannot be found on the local
# network but it’s still reachable by providing its IP
# or hostname.
#
#EnableNetworkBroadcast 0A restart will be required for it to take effect.
I know that issue 1 is a bug: https://www.nomachine.com/TR06M05548. You can sign up to be notified of an official fix.
For the second problem, are the credentials you are using in the browser to log in to NoMachine the same as in Login Window? I.e are you using the same user account? If you are using a different account when you get to the Login Window, disconnect is the correct behaviour. Disabling PhysicalDesktopAuthorization 0 in server configuration file could help.
@wagometer, send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Please put the title of your topic in the subject. Thanks.
Hi Michelle,
an IP address starting with 192.168.x.x is typical of a LAN network, and this is what you use to connect from one Mac to your husband’s Mac at home (you are on the same network). Using a LAN IP address in the ‘Host’ field when connecting to any computer over the Internet won’t work. You see something like this in your first set of numbers, I take it.
The second set of numbers is what you should use to connect to those computers from another machine over the Internet. The last five digits is the port. (You can see an example in Screenshots 1 here: https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine and https://www.nomachine.com/getting-started-with-nomachine#internet.
To connect to your Windows PC you need this second set of digits. Your Windows computer is showing only the LAN IP address. This is ok for connecting to it, let’s say, from a colleague’s computer in the office.
It can be that your office 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. Many routers that don’t support the query for the external IP still accept the commands required to enable port forwarding. If that’s your case, you will have to configure the port forwarding by using the router admin interface. This is normally a Web application running at http://192.168.1.1. Is there someone at the office that can do this for you? By default the port is 4000 but it can be changed to another.
NoMachine 5 (coming soon) will allow you to connect to your office PC without having to know this IP address. This would be ideal in your case.
Hi, we’ve reproduced and have opened a Trouble Report.

You can sign up to the ‘Notify me’ to know when a fix is available.
@jy can you follow the instructions above and let us know if that helps.
All NoMachine servers and nodes on Linux and Mac OS X hosts are affected and you are advised to update. So this means if you are running a Cloud Server, you need to update it; if you are running a Terminal Server Node, you need to update it; if you are running an Enterprise Desktop, you need to update it. Enterprise Client is not affected, but we recommend you update clients in order to keep versions aligned.
The logs are from the client. What we need are the logs from the server side, and additionally the .nx directory client side. Please follow the instructions in the article https://www.nomachine.com/AR07K00677. They will possibly be too large to attach here, so you will need to send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
Thanks
Looks like this: https://www.nomachine.com/TR12L04740
The files you transfer aren’t currently logged. We can certainly evaluate implementing such a functionality.
Ideally we would need to see the logs. Are you able to send them to us?
