Unable to update or checkout from CVS but only to a particular linux server.

[outre99]

Hey all,

 

I got Bugzilla 3.2 installed on my main CentOS 5 server, which is being
hosted in a data center.  When I try to update the current version to the
most recent stable release from CVS repository I get:

cvs [update aborted]: error writing to server: Connection reset by peer

 

when, for the testing purposes I tried to do a clean checkout into a temp
directory I get:

 

[root@arctosgroup temp]# cvs checkout -P -d bugzilla -rBugzilla_Stable
Bugzilla

cvs checkout: Updating bugzilla

U bugzilla/.cvsignore   <<it hangs here for 3 minutes then shows the error>>

cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if
any)

 

I am able to ping and telnet into cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:2401 from that
server.  

 

Then for the testing purposes I ran a new checkout on my development box
(which is in my house) and everything ran fine.

 

Which leads me to the conclusion that there's something wrong with my main
server.

But what?  Any ideas about how to narrow down the possible problems would be
much appreciated.
