    Hi,

    I am using plink.exe utility to ssh to a cvs repository
    (cvs.sourceforge.net). But it is giving the error "Unable to open
    connection: gethostbyname :unknown error". Can anyone tell why is it
    so?

    Because of that, i am unable to use TortoiseCVS.

    I am behind a corporate firewall and i think that is the cause for the
    error. If that is so, is there any way that i can overcome this?

    Rajesh
