Thanks for your patient help! ===== CVSNT Diagnostic output ----------------------- Server version: 2.0.51d OS Version: Windows 2000 5.0.2195 (Service Pack 4) CVS Service installed: Yes LockService installed: Yes pserver installed: Yes sserver installed: Yes sspi installed: Yes ext installed: Yes Installation Path: C:\Program Files\cvsnt Repository Prefix: (no value) Repository 0: G:/cvsrepo/test Repository 1: G:/cvsrepo/test2 Repository 2: G:/cvsrepo/jnj Repository 3: (no value) CVS Temp directory: G:\cvstemp CA Certificate File: E:\Program Files\cvsnt\cvsnt-default.pem Private Key File: E:\Program Files\cvsnt\cvsnt-default.pem CVS Temp directory: G:\cvstemp Impersonation: Yes Local Users Only: Yes Fake Unix CVS: No Default LockServer: localhost:2402 Disable Reverse DNS: Yes Server listen port: 2401 Temp dir readable by current user: Yes Repository0 readable by current user: Yes Temp dir writable by current user: Yes AV files detected: (none) Installed Winsock protocols: 1061: MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP] 1062: MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP] 1090: RSVP UDP Service Provider 1091: RSVP TCP Service Provider ===== The "Disable Reverse DNS" caught my eye (can't say why, though) so I flipped it and get the same failures. Another problem is that while I can ping any named host on the 'net, I can't do nslookup!: ===== C:\ nslookup ftp.apple.com *** Can't find server name for address 64.59.135.133: No response from server *** Can't find server name for address 64.59.135.135: No response from server *** Default servers are not available *** UnKnown can't find ftp.apple.com: No response from server Server: UnKnown Address: 64.59.135.133 ===== Those nameserver addresses are correct and they do work from my other PC. Next steps? Thanks again. Cheers, -- -Dick Dick Jackson / dick at d-jackson.com D-Jackson Software Consulting / http://www.d-jackson.com Calgary, Alberta, Canada / +1-403-242-7398 / Fax: 241-7392
