Firstly I'd try uninstalling the firewall temporarily - some of them can do really strange things to the TCP/IP stack, even when they're disabled. You should get a connection line in the output from cvsservice -test. If you're not getting that then you're not talking to the cvs service at all, which would imply something really odd going on locally on your box. > C:\>cvs login > Logging in to :pserver:pvr at 9.155.227.50:2401:/PVR > CVS password: ******* > cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server 9.155.227.50: -1: > No such file or directory That's usually a symptom of a dodgy firewall. Try connecting to 127.0.0.1 (although I expect you'll get the same symproms). Tony
