Hi,

I'm trying to get the latest version from CVS and get this error....

connect to nxogre.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host.

using Tortoise CVS...

"d:\apps\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "checkout" "-P" "nxogre"
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@nxogre.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nxogre

Is the CVS down, or ???

By the way, great work on NxOgre... it rocks !!!

Just getting started with it, but hoping to make some steady progress into PhysX with it :D

You don't have the parameters correctly, it's probably my fault.

It's "nxogre.cvs.sourceforge.net"


~/ts> cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@nxogre.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nxogre login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@nxogre.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/nxogre
CVS password:
~/ts> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@nxogre.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nxogre co -P nxogre
cvs checkout: Updating nxogre
cvs checkout: Updating nxogre/NxOgre
cvs checkout: Updating nxogre/NxOgre/NxTutorials
U nxogre/NxOgre/NxTutorials/101.cpp
U nxogre/NxOgre/NxTutorials/102.cpp
...


[Edit]

I've replaced every page on the internet for the new address.

ok, That's got it :)

Funny thing is that I first used what you put in the docs.....

Then I saw in the forum the change to nxogre.cvs.etc.... and that didn't work either... maybe I didn't try this enough times :(

anyway.... looking forward to trying the latest & greatest :D

Odd it just worked for me, moments ago.

But only because I've been so Evil today that I'm out of evilness, so I have to be kind:-


[Edit]

Just seen you have it...I'll delete the zip.

EDIT: Ignore this, got interrupted typing it in and it looks like you're set...

Are you possibly behind a firewall that's not allowing you to get thru?

An easy way to test it would be using telnet on a specified port just to see if you can connect at the socket level. CVS appears to be on 2401, so running this from the command line would test it:


telnet nxogre.cvs.sourceforge.net 2401


If doing this clears your command console, you've connected on the socket. If you get a message followed by a "..." that eventually times out, you can't connect on the socket.
