How To Connect To CVS Via Proxy Server
CVS is commonly used by open source project to provide access to their source code. Here is a simple way how you can connect to CVS server from behind a proxy server.
cvs -d:pserver;proxy=proxyhost;proxyport=8080:username@somedomain.tld:/somerepository
Notes:
1. Change proxyhost to hostname or ip address of your proxy server
2. Change proxyport to port of your proxy server
3. username and somedomain.tld (ex. taragana.com) are provided by your CVS administrator
For example here is how I checkout Shoal GMS (open source java jxta based fail-safe clustering) source code on Windows machine from behind our proxy server:
cvs -d:pserver;proxy=172.16.0.9;proxyport=6588:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login
cvs -d:pserver;proxy=172.16.0.9;proxyport=6588:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs co shoal/gms

Pz, help me from a danger if any solution. We with some friends have a broad band connection for the purpose of sharing the single- line with proxy using a HUB and an extra lan card. But their connection type is PPPoE. How can we use proxy server for this case so that we can use net together from our pcs.
