troubleshoot, troubleshoot, troubleshoot. cvs uses ssh as its transport, so can you ssh into/out of the box? can you ssh to your ssh repository? $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]<whatever>.org should return something semi-interesting. $ telnet anoncvs.whatever.org 22 should also try to work. Almost certainly, however, you are doing something incorrect. You have provided a diagnosis, not a set of symptoms, so I can't say much else other than I doubt your diagnosis, as I've done it, it works. Most likely, it is not at all VMware related (unless your vmware networking is screwed up), but rather something like filtering or even incorrect CVS usage messing you up. Nick.
