Hi, I do hope someone can help me out with this, I'm quite stumped and just a little out of my depth. My WinCVS had been working fine with connection to a remote server for a long time, then here's what I did: - I installed the newer WinCVS 1.3.20.3 Beta 20 Full (with CVSNT server, which I didn't really need) - I got the problem as described below which looked like WinCVS was trying to talk to the local CVSNT - I uninstalled WinCVS and CVSNT - I reinstalled WinCVS (Bare) - I still get this problem: I do Admin:Login (CVSROOT checked or unchecked, same result) (and doing this at a command prompt gives the same result): ===== cvs login Logging in to :pserver:djackson@<myCVSserver>:2401:/jnj ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** ===== Looks good, but when I do anything else with my files... ===== cvs -n update -P add_colorbar.pro (in directory C:\JJ\toolkit\) cvs server: connect to 127.0.0.1(127.0.0.1):2402 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** ===== Even if I do this, the same thing happens: ===== cvs -n -d :pserver:djackson:<password>@<myCVSserver>:2401:/jnj update -P add_colorbar.pro cvs server: connect to 127.0.0.1(127.0.0.1):2402 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. ===== So the problem is that I don't want to be connecting to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) at all, but rather <myCVSserver> which I had logged into! I'll also mention that the local and remote server machines have always been behind a router (with port 2401 open through firewall, but not 2402), and that hasn't been a problem before. As I mentioned, I've tried uninstalling and throwing away all settings files in C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCVS 1.3. I've even fumbled around with regedt32, but found nothing that looked right. Help! Anyone! Please! :-) Cheers, -- -Dick Dick Jackson / dick at d-jackson.com D-Jackson Software Consulting / http://www.d-jackson.com Calgary, Alberta, Canada / +1-403-242-7398 / Fax: 241-7392
