CVS Not responding.

Hello,

I've been trying to connect to the CVS repository from my Linux machine
and can't. Here are the details. If there is a better place to seek help
please let me know.

Thanks, Doug

--

  1. I have a Linux machine that can ping xml.apache.org and get a
     reply.
  2. I use the command: "cvs -d
     :pserver:anoncvs@xml.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login" and respond
     to the "CVS password:" challenge with "anoncvs"
  3. Here is the transcript:
          $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@xml.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login

          (Logging in to anoncvs@xml.apache.org)
          CVS password: anoncvs (actually hidden)
          (press ctrl-c after 10 minutes)
          cvs [login aborted]: received interrupt signal
  4. We have opened port 2401 to xml.apache.org in our firewall.

Ideas would be welcome.

Thanks again,
Doug

That's what I did to determine it was a corporate firewall problem. Connect Failed so I
got my sys-admin to check the firewall settings and she got it right. I have the sources
now.

Thanks, Doug

Try to do a telnet xml.apache.org 2401, type something weird in there
(like AFASFSAFAIOEIFJPAOFAPFOJA) and enter. Let's see what happens.

No response after a few days so I convinced my sys-admin to retry the firewall stuff
and sure enough that fixed it.
