[cvsnt] Re: target machine not accepting connection

[Bo Berglund]

If you have installed CVSNT on a Windows XP Pro machine with the most
recent Service Pack you might have the Microsoft firewall active (by
default).
Look here:
Start/Connect To/Show All Connections/NetworkCard/Properties/Advanced

There is a checkbox that is named "Internet Connection Firewall" and
if it is checked noone can access your server....
