Thanks for testing, yep, I followed the directions, several times. :) I guess it must be a firewall issue here. It used to work (July 2001), but apparently our IT department has changed something in that time that is now blocking access :( Does anyone know just off hand which ports CVS pserver needs open to work properly? Looking at the address, it appears 2401 must be one of them. Any others?
