Can you "telnet 192.168.1.1 2401"? If that gets a connection, > at least you know it's the authentication...
$ telnet 192.168.1.1 2401 Trying 192.168.1.1... Connected to 192.168.1.1. Escape character is '^]'. hello cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: hello Connection closed by foreign host. so it's apparently connecting, but not authenticating. (right?) the <CVSROOT>/passwd file looks like -rw-r--r-- 1 will Jul 10 00:27 CVSROOT/passwd containing only will:LQ8t.ApJDZE.g maybe somehow the cvs server side is looking in the wrong place for the passwd file? if i just delete the CVSROOT/passwd file altogether should i be able to get in scot-free? i still get 'connection refused' regardless... -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
