Can you try and capture any ipv6 packets trying to leave your computer when you're trying to login into cvs or to do other things with cvs ?

IF you find anything running, disable ipv6.
(refer to your distribution's manual on how to do this.)

Cheers.

Both ping and traceroute the host from fermi machines returns success. I need some time to understand the use of tcpdump.
thanks,
Taylan

can you post your ifconfig of the listening interface ?


a routing table would be nice too:
netstat -nr

you can of course scramble the IP addresses.

Hi,
I installed a cvs repository in my local SL machine and trying to connect
 it
from fermi machines. I get the following error:

[cmswn085> cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/var/lib/

CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to
neutralino.physics.uiowa.edu(128.255.34.167):2401 failed: No route to hos

This is a routing/firewall problem. the cvs command asks for the password before trying to connect.

07:02 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/var/lib/ login
Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401/var/lib
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to [localhost]:2401 failed: Connection refused
07:03 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$

It's most probably tcpwrappers

No. That allows a connexion, then rejects it. You don't get "no route" or "refused messages."

AFAIK tcpwrappers refuse too.
but I somehow missed the no route to.. :)
and you're right! it needs some investigation:

1. ping to the host
2. traceroute to the host.

if you sporadically get the no route problem, it means you have ... a routing problem :)

after you finished up with it, you can continue and trouble shoot.
routing problem can be cause by your university/enterprise firewall too.


you can also investigate with tcpdump, which is a great sniffer.

Good luck!




"reset" is more probable.
