To all, I've been using Tortoise CVS client for years, and I've never had a problem with it until today. For no apparent reason, the cvsnt executable simply fails to connect to any CVS server via the ssh or ext methods. It was working yesterday - today any CVS operation just fails with "cvs [update aborted]: Connection to server failed" I am able to run ssh from the same machine to any of the target CVS servers without any problems, so I know it is not a firewall problem. I can run Cygwin cvs with ssh from the command line on the same machine, so there is nothing wrong the target CVS repositories (I am trying to connect to SourceForge as a developer). A local CVS repository works with pserver, but that same repository does not work with ext or ssh. It certainly used to work, and ext access works just fine from other machines on the same local net. I've tried using various ssh tools such as TortoisePlink, cygwin ssh and putty and all of them give the same error. I'm running on Windows XP Pro SP2 with all of the latets updates. I;ve desinstalled and reinstalled TortoiseCVS 1.8.26 several times, and I've tried CVSNT client 2.5.02.2064 from the command line with the same bad result. The only change from yesterday when it was working was installing and configuring Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I suspect some DLL somewhere has been upgraded and now the cvsnt.exe is having a problem. I absolutely need this to work - the next step is reformatting the machine and hoping the problem goes away. My guess is that some DLL ha Any ideas how to fix?
