Re: cvs [any cvs action]: Connection to server Failed

[Todd Denniston]

1) this may belong on info-cvs but because it is a configuration error instead 
of a fault in the way CVS is programmed it does not belong on bug-cvs.
(bug-cvs is getting a BCC as I move this to info-cvs)

2) OK, you are using WinCVS which IIRC uses CVSNT as it's client underneath so 
this may belong more on on of their lists or the WinCVS list.
Following list borrowed from Arthur Barrett
CVSNT newsgroup:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
WinCVS newsgroup:
http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/cvsgui
TortoiseCVS newsgroup:

But it sounds like your ssh client is having trouble making connections.

Have you tried to ssh to the server with the same address@hidden info you give CVS 
in the $CVSROOT variable? Does it work or fail?
What was updated in the Windows Update? (actually don't answer that on THIS 
list, unless you can narrow down the list to one or two items you think are 
messing up your connection.)
