I also think that a networking problem is at large here, but I can't figure out what.... It looks strange that some commands ooperate OK (cvs log or cvs status on a single file for example) whereas others do not (like the cvs status -v file1 file2 type). Anyways the virtual machine has a VMWare virtual network adapter and the IT person today tried to clean out all of the drivers for now nonexisting hardware. But so far it has not helped. The VMWare network adapter is connected to a virtual network switch on the server and the output of that is in turn connected to the physical network adapter on the server PC. According to the IT person the virtual switch is a beast to configure and whatever they do will affect all servers sunning on the same hardware PC, so they are reluctant to change the defaults....
