Is your CVS_RSH env var set? By default, cvs tries to use 'rsh' as the remote shell (the rsh port is usually blocked; thus the timeout). Set it to the path of your ssh client on the client machine. e.g. set CVS_RSH=d:\tools\Putty\bin\putty.exe Cheers, --Russ > > The command I'm using is: > > cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot checkout test2 > > On Windows, I get a different error: > > Cannot open CVS/Entries for reading.
