Connecting to CVS server

I just installed Eclipse and I cannot connect to our CVS server. Upon adding a new CVS repository location and validation I get back:
"Unknown response received from cvs server: "
I then realized that I cannot connect from cygwin. I then figured out that I needed to have an entry in the .rhosts file on the server. This worked for cygwin but it does not help for usgin CVS in Eclipse.
I then tried connecting from a DOS window and I cannot connect, I get back:
' from cvs serverning: unrecognized response `ok
I think there's something wrong with cygwin's rsh (which I placed in the windows PATH). When I set the CVS_RSH variable to (also cygwin's) ssh, I get this:
ssh: connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused
Any ideas?
Thanks

What connection type are you using in Eclipse? Eclipse has an ssh implementation if you set the connection type to extssh. Then you shouldn't need to use cygwin's ssh.

I just got it to work 
It appears that Eclipse uses it's own inernal CVS_RSH var. I found this seeting in the drop down menu Window->Preferences->Team->CVS->Ext Connection Method
I set it to point to a different rsh program (from cygwin) and it works.
Cheers,
Leslie
