I had had problems with using Proxies before. Does your CVS software ahve anything in it for proxys?

It looks like you can't FIND cvs.freepascal.org. Can you ping it?

Ok,

I used the settings in the howto:
SET
and now I have tried yours to but gets exactly the same message.

We are using a proxi server here with firewall,
I don't know any more...

Do I have to edit the Autoexec.bat file ?
This one is totaly empty !

I just tried CVS and it worked fine.

What do you have the CVS server set to?

Hi,

I finally got the CVS into my computer at work (NT machine) !!

I read the insruktions on the web and everything works until this message:

"cvs [login aborted] : connect to cvs.freepascal.org:2401 failed: Connection timed out"

Is this an error or is it maybe because of high traffic on the net ?

I have never done a "ping" but i typed
ping cvs.freepascal.org
and I get this in the pingApp
0 bytes received, icmp_seq=1, time=7010 ms

Chris

This is probably the problem.

Chris, you should use the one from the Howto:

I have never done a "ping" but i typed ping cvs.freepascal.org and I get this in the pingApp 0 bytes received, icmp_seq=1, time=7010 ms

what do you get if you type ping cvs.freepascal.org from a NT cmd prompt

and what if you type ping 195.207.84.152

When you connect using a proxy server then you can't use CVS. At my job i can also only download http and ftp. And not sending anything except forms for html pages.

I suspect that the reason you are having problems is that you need to get your firewall administrator to open the proper TCP/IP port in order for you to be able to access CVS through the firewall. Our firewall at work only allows a few protocols through and if we want to use something special, like CVS, then the firewall administrators must open the port specifically for that. The default port for CVS is 2401. I think that most CVS installations use this port. So if that port is enabled through your firewall, then you should be able to connect to CVS.

BTW, the reason you can't ping through the firewall is probably the same. Your company most likely does not allow UDP packets through the firewall, so you cannot ping. You can find out if this is true by trying to ping any other internet address (try "ping sun.com") and see if it returns nothing as before.

I did ping from a NT cmd and I got the messages
from Ping Version 7.0...

I tried to ping 195.207.84.152 with same result :-(

I think I give up and download as I use to do,
the lazarus.zip

I know to little about this network configuration
and if I try to much maybe someone blame me
for the network problems we have every day...
I have manages so far and Stefan and I has
solved this that I send him my CVS updates
and he checking it in. It's not an simple way
but it works :-)

By the way

I use the cvs.exe I downloaded from HowTo link
ftp://ftp.cvshome.org/pub/cvs-1.10.5/windows/cvs.exe

I don't know how I configure that...
