Doing CVS update, or "Show chagnes", ... throws NPE. Attaching screenshot and stacktrace. Might be somehow configuration specific. Let me know if I can provide more information. I can't use NetBeans from withing CVS for now.

You probably have a SOCKS proxy set with null/empty host name and/or address. Can you specify what proxy settings you use? Screenshot of your manual proxy settings maybe or some more info in case of System settings.

The similar (at attached proxy.png) for gnome-network-properties. Using Ubuntu + Fluxbox. No http_proxy property is set.
I'll investigate ... however, your settings are wrong because webcache is NOT a SOCKS server ... and I will obviously try to use SOCKS to connect to a CVS server. Can you try to uncheck the checkbox?
Yup, you are right. Unchecking solved the problem.
