I can't login cvs, please help

[duq97]

Hi,

I just typed the following command exactly as the installation instruction said:

#export CVS_RSH=ssh
#cvs -d anoncvs@cvs.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 co -P .

while it says connection time out. How can I access the cvs repository?
Thanks a million.

thanks

Can you resolve (82.149.243.100) and ping cvs.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net at all?

I have tried this:
cvs -pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de/tuxbox-cvs login

and it works...

I cannot ping cvs.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net, but http://www.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net is fine.

is it my problem?

http://www.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net and cvs.berlios.de are completely different servers, you cannot use these to get to cvs.tuxbox-cvs.sourceforge.net. Indeed, we used to have the CVS-Repository on that server but it was too instable so it was removed and put on a different site.

I gave you the IP for the CVS-Repository in my last post, try to use this directly. If you can't even ping the IP then we obviously have a routing problem. You can use traceroute or similar to find out where the packets disappear.

AFAIK there should be no restrictions.
