[cvsnt] cvs commands hang

[Rajesh Deshpande]

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the explanation.
I stopped both the Firewall and Antivirus services, but still got the same
problem. (attached is cvsdiag.txt and other files, how to direct cvs -ttt
output to a file?)

After tinkering around for a while I think I got the problem, but wonder
what the solution can be!

My setup is as follows:

I have installed CVSNT and WinCVS on my laptop (WinXP Pro SP2) which has
network adapter IP 192.168.0.2 and primary DNS as 192.168.0.1 which is a
desktop machine (Win98 SE) having internet access. I am using Internet
Connection Sharing on laptop to connect to internet via desktop machine.

Only when the laptop is connected to network, CVSNT works without hanging
(even with both Firewall and Antivirus services active). If I disconnect
from the network, CVSNT hangs.

How can I solve this problem? Can't I use CVSNT on laptop when it is not
connected to network (which it is most of the time)?

Regards,
Rad.

Please read the FAQ at the information you need to supply:
http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq2.asp#2z

Send the results of a trace and a cvsdiag at least:
cvs -ttt -d d:/cvsroot init
Cvssdiag


> Tried "cvslock -test" command which gives following result:
>

Losing MDNS is no showstopper, but it may indicate something is
seriously wrong with the TCP stack.

> Commodo Firewall Pro (both cvs and cvslock allowed connections)
> AVG Anti-Virus

Try stopping those services and trying again...

You should be able to telnet to port 2401 and 2402:
telnet localhost 2401
.
.
.
telnet localhost 2402
.
.
.


If either port does not respond then your TCP/IP is broken.
