Re: Trying to locate an error

So far I got two suggestions:

1) CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gforge

trying this (credit to Tom Copeland) a cmd-window opens executing cvs.exe and 
keeps me waiting, and waiting, and waiting... seems that nothing happens.

2) cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs co -d c:/apache/htdocs/cage-web/ cvs

trying this (credit to Alex Pop) results in: 

cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `Unable to open connection:
' from cvs server
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

So, it seems that I'm stuck!

If nothing gets working soon, I'm considering to uninstall the environment (cvs 
and ssh) and restart, If I do that, what do you recommend (I'm on a W2K-box - 
which will _not_ change!).

regards, Tomas
