I am a newbie to cvs and I am having problems logging in as a client from my work machine (WinNT). The server I am logging into is running Linux and I have no trouble connecting from home (using WinCVS or Forte For Java's built in client). I am DEFINITELY behind a firewall at work that I have no control over. I can telnet to the ip address (port 23?) and connect via ftp (port 21?).
I have thoroughly investigated this problem on the web and have not seen anyone with a good solution. One "troubleshooting" technique I've seen to try is to telnet to the port using "telnet ipaddress port" which for me is "telnet 216.254.34.156 2401". When I do this, I get a long wait period followed by a "Connection failed!" dialog from the Telnet program that is automatically launched by WinNT from the command prompt. Do this mean I'm out of luck? Posted below are the environment variables I set with a batch file and the error message I'm getting. Thanks in advance for any insight y'all can provide!
