There are about 10 versions of 2.5.02, please add the build number
too. The latest is 2.5.02.2096

Amazingly, I can ping your machine by both IP address and name from
over here too..

pinging this gets a response

I tried telnet to ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401, but never got a
connection, this indicates the server might not be accessible. Is
there a firewall in between?

Then I tried this:

c:\>cvs -d :sspi:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work login
Logging in to :sspi:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work
CVS Password:
cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server
ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu: -1: Unknown error

Is this similar to what you get?

Then trying to change the authentication method:

c:\>cvs -d
:sspi;Force=NTLM:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work login
Logging in to :sspi:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work
CVS Password:
cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server
ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu: -1: Unknown error

Some problem again...
Switching to pserver:

c:\>cvs -d :pserver:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work login
Logging in to :pserver:sprinkle at ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu:2401:/work
CVS Password:
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server
ransom.eecs.berkeley.edu rejected access to /work for user sprinkle

To me this indicates the server is at least running, but to check I
changed to a server that is for sure not running cvs, but otherwise
exsists:

c:\>cvs -d :pserver:sprinkle at www.dn.se:2401:/work login
Logging in to :pserver:sprinkle at www.dn.se:2401:/work
CVS Password:
connect to www.dn.se:2401 failed: No connection could be made because
the target machine actively refused it.


This is the error when there is no cvs service running at all.
