The timeout error suggests that cvs-rep does not have the cvs server running. Test it by opening a telnet session on port 2401. The telnet program should connect immediately. Type a few random characters and press 'Enter' - you should see an error message "cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: " followed by the characters you typed. If telnet times out, or if you see a different message, then have a look at the troubleshooting section of the manual: https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_21.html#SEC187, particularly section F.2 -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
