I disabled the firewall and I got the error below:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.ks.uiuc.edu:2401 failed: A connection
attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a
period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has
failed to respond.

I suspected that I used proxy, so I added the proxy settings, but I got the
error below:

cvs [login aborted]: Proxy server connect failed:

it's the first time that I use CVS.
It's really cumbersome.
