I have setup a FreeBSD-9 i386 virtual machine (virtualbox on FreeBSD-9
amd64) with xorg and gnome.
My goal is it to connect from Windows 7 to freebsd remotely using nxserver.
(As freenx/nxserver only supports i386 hosts I had to use the virtual
machine for testing)

On FreeBSD (vm) I have installed the following 2 ports (as I don't
know the difference of them)
+ net/freenx
+ net/nxserver

I have configured the server as followed:
root> /usr/X11R6/NX/bin/nxsetup --install
------> It is recommended that you use the NoMachine key for
        easier setup. If you answer "y", FreeNX creates a custom
        KeyPair and expects you to setup your clients manually.
        "N" is default and uses the NoMachine key for installation.

 Do you want to use your own custom KeyPair? [y/N] N
[...]
root> /usr/X11R6/NX/bin/nxserver --start
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.5.0-60 OS (GPL)
NX> 122 Service started
NX> 999 Bye
root> /usr/X11R6/NX/bin/nxserver --status
NX> 100 NXSERVER - Version 1.5.0-60 OS (GPL)
NX> 110 NX Server is running
NX> 999 Bye

For my Windows7-64bit box I have downloaded and installed nomachine's
nx client for windows 3.5.0-7
Now when I try to connect from windows to the FreeBSD machine I get
the following error in the windows nx client log

I really have no idea what i am doing wrong. Could somebody please
point out what else I have to check in order to identify the problem.

Best wishes
