[cvsnt] Compatibility between CVSNT and Mentor Graphics tools

All,

I am experiencing a problem using CVSNT on a system where Mentor Graphics'
DX Designer (PADS) is installed. I hope somebody can help.

A bit of history:
- I installed CVSNT 2.0.3 on my PC, to handle the sources of a SW project I
was working on. Since it's such a great tool, I ended up using it on all
the SW project I have been involved since.
- recently, we purchased a copy of DxDesigner, a schematic design tool by
Mentor Graphics. Although this was not specified, this commercial SW
appears to use CVSNT. I could not find refences in the documentation, but a
few terms (e.g. repository) match the CVS terminology. Then, when
configuring the tool I noticed "Stopping CVSNT ..." messages, therefore I
am confident this tool uses CVSNT.
- since then, I cannot use the original copy of CVSNT I installed. I cannot
start the server, and obviously the client fails to connect. I get the
following error message:
cvs [log aborted]: connect to PC508:2401 failed: Impossibile stabilire la
connessione. Rifiuto persistente del computer di destinazione.
(The message says: It was impossible to connect. Connection persistently
refused by the destination computer).
- I tried quite a few commands. I tried to get the "get cvs version" and I
got:
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.2 (client/server)

In my opinion there is a collision between the two CVSNT. I tried to change
the "CVS server port" setting, but with no success.
I am confident there is a way to get the two to work (or eventually to
combine the two). The problem is that the Mentor Graphics tool has no
explicit CVSNT configuration window, therefore I do not know whether I can
add/configure repositories...

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Lorenzo
