Paul: Coincidently, two nights ago I tried just what you tried, in my case downloading the complete Release-2.2.5 from cvs.linuxcnc.org. I used a newly installed Linux and I have had no previous interaction with the cvs system ever, so there shouldn't have been any detritis left over to confuse the issue. I followed the published instructions and everything worked perfectly right out of the chute.
I'm located in Gaithersburg, MD USA and access the Internet via the local Comcast cable system. Following my signature line is the output from tracert (yes, I'm an O/S switchhitter): After the first dozen hops, my routing is basically the same as the one Jeff already published (ok, so tracert reported the ip-provider's name for the target host lin-dsl-static-206-222-212-221.inetnebr.com instead of the DNS A-record name cvs.linuxcnc.org, but that's a trivial point. You'd get the same behavior if you went looking for a virtual dedicated host I run on a commercial provider's system. Unix commands like dns or dig will confirm the A-record for cvs.linuxcnc.org.). Over the years, I ran a large collection of Unix, Linux, and Windows hosts at work. Whenever communications got squirrelly with them, I started debugging by making sure I didn't have rogue entries in the localhost and routing tables that were shortstopping my attempts to "reach out and touch someone." Good hunting!
