RE: What should I do with CVS after IP address changed

[Hong, Yi]

I was able to check out with the new IP address by using the command:
"cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs-rep co healthlink"

But I still got the same error message after I tried to update the file:

"address@hidden images]# cvs update prevpic.gif
cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs-rep(141.106.32.35):2401 failed:
Connection timed out"

It seems that the system was still trying to connect to the old IP
address 141.106.32.35.

When I tried to set my CVSROOT environment variable with the command 
 "setenv CVSROOT :pserver:141.106.210.35:/usr/local/cvs-rep", I got the
message "bash: setenv: command not found".

We have a remote repository. The IP address was changed from
141.106.32.35 to 141.106.210.35 on the machine which can mount the
working directory (we called it test server).
 The question is how to connect to the server with the new IP address
141.106.210.35 instead of the old one(141.106.32.35).

Thanks for your help,

Yi

But in his situation, #2 is required.  He needs to override the cvs/Root

files in his tree with the new server information: #2 will do that, #1 
won't.

But yes, you still need the full CVSROOT in the command line, not just 
the IP:

cvs co -d :pserver:address@hidden:/path_to_repository co ...
