There is a Connection Wizard in the Fedora Menu under the Internet > NX 
Client for Linux > NX Connection Wizard . In your Work Computer

Put the Configure setting in that Wizard. In your work computer.

If you installed all three, NXclient.rpm, NXnode,rpm, NXserver.rpm  on 
both computers,
You should not have to make any changes on your Home Computer.
Just the Configure Settings on the Client Computer, your Work Computer.

Just be sure, !!  you don't have any previous installs of NXfree on 
either computer.
