Download and install the NoMachine Enterprise Client for your system. You can download the NoMachine Enterpise Client here:

Note: The normal client will also install a NX server on your machine, so unless you want remote desktop access to your laptop or home PC as well, use the enterprise client.


After you've installed the NoMachine client, open it and add a new connection.

Initial screen

Enter a Name for the connection and add the IP number or hostname for the Host you are trying to connect to.

Add connection

Next select Configuration. Make sure Use password authentication is selected and Use UDP communication for multimedia data is checked.

  • Port = 4000
  • Protocol = NX

Click connect.

Verify your hosts identity

The Verify host authenticity will only appear the first time you connect to your host or if you reinstall the host. If it does appear a second time on the same host, do not continue, this might indicate malicious activity on the host system and you should call support.
