[sword-devel] CrossWire subversion server error

[John Austin]

Thanks all,
Git on crosswire.org works fine. Subversion still isn't working 
(returning the same error). When using a VPN, there is no problem at all.

Subversion fails on all computers I've tried, even without any proxy or 
firewall. Ping to crosswire.org (199.119.92.18) works fine, but then svn 
still fails after the timeout. I have tried two different local ISPs and 
get the same message:

svn: E000110: Error running context: Connection timed out

I have not noticed any Great-Firewall issues recently (which indeed 
sometimes are noticeable). All other software services here have been 
working without a glitch. I can access Subversion on googlecode just 
fine. Also since it seems that crosswire.org security was recently 
updated, this all leads me question the server(?)

Might it help if I send ISP info? Or even exact IPs to scan log files for?

We're using virtual machines for almost everything these days and 
provisioning them with a VPN is slow, so it's not an ideal solution, but 
it does work for now.

Thank again!
John
