Newbie connection question

[RLMuller]

Hi All,

 

I'm still reading some of the documentation but want to get feedback from my system that the pieces are working.

 

I saw a previous answer to a connection question and tried it on my newly installed CVS/CVSNT system (most recent stable releases).

 

I tried the following in a Command window on my Win2000ProSP3 (which, incidentally, hosts CSVNT):

 

    11:37 I:\>telnet My2000Server 2401
    Connecting To My2000Server...Could not open a connection to host on port 2401 : Connect failed

    11:37 I:\>

 

where "My2000Server" represents the name of my Win2000AS-SP3 advanced server hosting CVS. 

 

I substituted the server's IP address for the server name and got essentially the same response.

 

I think I set up CVS for something like NT authentication or Domain authentication.  I definitely did not choose pserver authentication.  I kept the default port assignment, so 2401 sounds right to me.

 

I am logged on my workstation as a Domain Administrator.

 

Ultimately , I'd like to know the simplest way to test whether the CVSNT-CVS hookup is working.

 

TIA,

Richard
