looking at the man page for cvsupd says that it uses ports 5999 and 5998. This means that you will have to have NAT on the firewall machine or port forwarding. Proxys typically only proxy some services such as ftp and http and wont help with cvsup. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
