cvsup connection problems [was Re: how to update source tree without cvs?]

[yew chin]

i m using cvsup -L 2 so it should has verbose output.
but unfortunately, it didn't output anything.
i also guess that maybe the connection is slow, so i
keep waiting for the cvsup connection after the
"running" line.
after a few minutes of froze, it show something like:

Detailer failed: Premature EOF from server
Will Retry at 11:04:54

i m using the same CD to install freebsd in my house
and my friend's house and i have no problem cvsup-ing
at all. That's why at the beginning i guess that there
are some firewall setting prevent me from cvsup-ing in
my school.
Does anyone experience the EOF problems before?
Thanks for looking and answering.
