I've been trying to install and configure a test repository on my machine. Installation and creating repository went fine but when I try to connect from command line, it fails. I get an error message stating: "cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server XXXX: -1: Unknown error." I did some searching and saw that it might be a firewall or anti-virus software issue. So I uninstalled Norton Internet Security as well as their Anti-Virus software. I also went into my linksys router and disabled firewall and made sure port forwarding for 2401 was going to my internal ip for the cvs server. That didn't work. So I thought it might be a turned off service so I reverted to default profile but still nothing. Only thing left that I can think of is that I run CyberPatrol on the same machine cvs is install. I would rather not uninstall it since it's being used by my kids. But could that software be causing above problem? Another observation... I was able to connect to :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic using WSAD/Eclipse 5.1.2. So it doesn't seem to indicate that my cvs client is not working... just my cvs server! argh... so annoying. Any other suggestion as to what I can try? I'm thinking I could also try plugging machine directly to DSL modem. This is not the best option since I loose the router & its firewall security. My last resort is to format and reinstall the machine but even that doesn't guarantee it'll work. Thanks, Eric
