I am using WinCVS and when i try to update a module i keep getting this error
cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: error -1
What is the actual problem here and how to resolve this?
A:
Your anti-virus/firewall may be the problem here. Disable/Uninstall them and try again.

The error descriptions aren't useful, since they don't include "reading from". The troubleshooting tips might be useful, but since the OP didn't bother answering the question about access method we can't use it.

Could you do a whole checkout but no update?
I had the same error at work and it puzzlingly was a problem related with access rights on the server. To know whether you have the same problem, ask a colleague to try with his own login.

I have seen strange problems depending on the CVS client/server version when the compression was turned off. The solution to many of our problems was to use compression (lowest setting would suffice), even though on the LAN this would not have been a neccessity. Not sure anymore what the message was, but maybe this helps you.
