[cvsnt] Need help with cvslock (reposted)

[Mauro Maniforti]

After other test the problem seem fixed.
As suspected it was related to a network configuration. In particular my
cvsnt server (laptop) is an enterprise lan client (dhcp for ip) and a soho
peer. In my tcp configuration I have an alternative configuration to be able
to get an ip address when I'm at home. In this configuration  it was missing
the address for the DNS.
Simply adding 127.0.0.1 fix the problem. This seem to force the use of host
file or any local trick to resolve host names. Honestly is not clear to me
why this was a problem, if someone can exmplain me more it will be very
appreciated.


Many thanks to all who try to help me.
