Check the IP on the router and then verify it with link following instructions from https://portforward.com/actiontec/t3200m/ – it’s on right, top corner – External IP: XX.XX.XX.XX).
If router and IP on sites aren’t the same , you need to contact your provider. Failing that, this feature will help solve the problem: https://www.nomachine.com/FR07J02731 (coming soon).
With NoMachine for Mac unlimited accounts can indeed access the remote desktop. This is allowed by Apple’s EULA as well. All you need to do is install Enterprise Desktop which supports unlimited connections. Those users will see the same physical desktop.
If I understand correctly what you are asking is for a terminal server for Mac, like we offer for Linux, which allows different users to connect to their own virtual desktop or display which is running in the background. This is not allowed by Apple. If, on the other hand, you’re referring to fast user switching, this is already supported.
What you are asking is not possible because the macOS EULA will not allow it:
It’s possible “to control a separate graphical desktop session of the Apple Software that is different from the one running and being displayed on the Home Mac, and such connection may only be made through the Screen Sharing feature of the Apple Software”
On Linux, it’s different. There are things that are trivial to do on Linux that are not as easy on OSX, especially when you are dealing with an OS where what you can do and what you cannot do is written in the EULA 😉
Hi Netopia,
There are multiple ways to have a shortcut pointing to your connection settings:
– Click New in the client, and at the end of the wizard check the option “Create a link on the desktop”
or
– Copy the connection file on to the desktop – the connection file is located by default in Documents\NoMachine
or
– Copy the connection file and paste it as shortcut on desktop
In all cases you can save the password in the connection file, if you don’t want to be asked again at connection time.
When you’re in the authentication panel the first time you connect, select the box “Save this password in the connection file” then click OK.
There is a feature request planned:
Allowing users to configure fingers gestures on mobile devices for server side left-handed mouse
https://www.nomachine.com/FR10L02837At the moment, transferring a folder or dragging a folder is not supported.
You can drag and drop multiple files: select multiple files on the server, drag them out of the client’s window then release the mouse button. They’ll be saved on the desktop. It works the other way as well.
Alternatively, you can use the ‘connect a disk’ feature. By connecting a remote disk/drive within the session, its contents will show up in your local desktop’s file manager. This also works both ways, so when connecting a local disk with the session running, its content will show up on your remote desktop’s file manager.

Ok 🙂 thanks for letting us know. The fact that an update eliminated could be just a coincidence, but to investigate now would not point us to why it kept disconnecting after the system crash. Sooo, if this disconnect issue happens again, we’d need to know any messages you’re seeing and then of course the logs.
We’re waiting for the board so we can investigate this – it’s one that we’ve not yet added to the tested list 😉
Can we take a look at the logs? You’ll need to enable debug, reproduce the issue and then extract the logs.

Send them to the usual email address you’ve used in the past.
Open a terminal on the server and tell me what output you get for:
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --versionand
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --listIt sounds like you need to enable resize the remote screen.
Take a look at the guide in the knowledge base which illustrates and explains how to adjust the display settings.

The same section also handles quality settings since you mention performance.
If you continue to have problems with either the resolution or performance, send us a screenshot of display settings so we can see what you’ve configured.
@graphixillusion, this is the Trouble Report you need to follow: https://www.nomachine.com/TR04P08501
You can sign up to receive notification of its fix using the ‘notify me’ service 🙂
We’ve inserted a Feature Request to handle correct functioning of SSH-agent authentication forwarding. Until that is implemented, users can authenticate using SSH protocol through Password, Private key, Smart card and Kerberos.
Adding SSH agent forward-authentification method
https://www.nomachine.com/FR04P03602You will both be happy to know that implementation of this Feature Request has been scheduled for 6.1 which is not far off.
Locking the screen automatically when the NoMachine session is disconnected
http://www.nomachine.com/FR05N03110This free version is only for connecting to the physical desktop. It’s equivalent amongst the pay-for version is Enterprise Desktop.
In the terminal server range, which is dedicated to offering multiple virtual Linux desktops, only specific users are allowed to connect to the physical desktop:
I Privileged system users (root or ‘sudo’ users)
II NoMachine administrators
III NoMachine users trusted for connections to the physical desktop
IV The desktop ownerSee more about this in section 10 of the Workstation guide: https://www.nomachine.com/DT03O00126. There you will find details on how to add specific users to allow them to connect to the physical display.
