Hi,

Are you behind a http proxy or a firewall?
If you are behind a proxy, look on google how to use proxies with CVS.
If you are behind a firewall, try to change the port:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:80/cvsroot/jfreedesigner login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:443/cvsroot/jfreedesigner login

If you are using wincvs, you can have a look to this page:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_d ... ncvsconfig

Bye,
Mimil
