connection problem with CVS via pserver and xinetd

[Michael Hartzog]

I'm having a problem with my new CVS/WinCVS installation.  I have CVS 
installed on my Linux server (RedHat 7) and WinCVS installed on a box
running Windows 2000 Professional.   On the Linux server, I have xinetd
configured to listen to port 2401 and pass requests to cvspserver.  I am 
able to connect over the LAN with no problem, but after 8-10 commands(adding 
files and committing), I get the following error:

cvs [add aborted]: connect to 192.168.1.200:2401 failed: Connection timed 
out

After I get this, subsequent commands fail I cannot log in from WinCvs 
again, or telnet to the Linux box, or even browse to the internet from the 
Windows box.  To resolve this, I have to stop the network and xinetd 
services and/or reboot Linux before I can get going again.

Seems like an issue with the volume of data I am pushing over the 
connection.  I cannot get larger files to commit at all, while I can do 
several smaller files before it hangs.

At this point, I'm out of ideas on how to troubleshoot this.  Has anyone 
experienced anything like this?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Michael
