Re: Having issue with CVS timeouts

Rob,
I am trying to update my synchronet from CVS and no matter the commnad line that I use they all timeout also have tried with sudo and get the same message. The error message that I get is:
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.synchro.net(71.95.196.36):2401 failed: Connection timed out.
The command that I use is taken right from http://wiki.synchro.net/dev:cvs The CLI use was cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.synchro.net:/cvsroot/sbbs co src-sbbs3 lib
So the OS the Debain 9.9 kernel 4.9.0-9-amd64
cvs update -d src 3rdp
cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs.synchro.net(71.95.196.36):2401 failed: Connection timed out
Any insight that you might have would be help full.
Looks like you're having some network issue connecting to TCP port 2401 at cvs.synchro.net. It's up and listening:
$ nc cvs.synchro.net 2401
test
cvs [pserver aborted]: bad auth protocol start: test
... so you have something between your client and my CVS server that is not allowing that connection. That would be a networking problem for you to resolve.
In the mean-time, you can try to use cvs-mirror.synchro.net (instead of cvs.synchro.net) or just download the tarballs instead of using CVS:
