Hi, all,
I'm a satisfied user of the latest svn versions of LyX. Just within the
last day or two, I keep getting a "svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.lyx.org':
No route to host" message. I suspect it's my proxy settings ( things are
getting more strict in that respect here ), but am not *entirely* sure of
that. Just in case, I thought I'd check with you guys.
I had that message too, and it was due to an overly strict firewall
blocking svn.
Some things to try:
$ nslookup svn.lyx.org
You should get an ip address. (62.70.27.115)
Otherwise, you have a DNS problem.
If nslookup is fine, try:
$ ping svn.lyx.org
If you get an answer, then you do have a route to the host. If you get
the same error, then you have a routing problem. If you get no response
at all, maybe "ping" is blocked too at your site.
If the "ping" is fine but "svn" is not, then you likely have a firewall
problem. If the svn service at svn.lyx.org dies, then you get a
different error message. Not "no route to host".
Fortunately, some employers can be convinced that "svn" is useful.
