Description Steven Hung

When trying to connect to the repository:
:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/webtools

using eclipse, I get the message:
Error validating location: "Could not connect to :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/webtools: Cannot connect to host: Connection refused: connect"

I have tried with /cvsroot/eclipse, and I get the same problem as well.

It sounds like a firewall block.  You can email your IP(http://whatsmyip.org) to Webmaster and I'll take a look.

I have sent the IP to Webmaster, thanks

Your subnet is in our whitelist, and I can see that there have been connections to pserver from your IP through the day so far.

Can you connect via ssh? 

-M.

After restarting my machine it now works, I'm not sure why my machine had an issue.

The reason I restarted my machine was that I had tried connecting via ssh with that machine and it also failed. I switched to another machine and was able to connect successfully

Thanks for your help
