(1) 1.11.1 works fine. (2) If the path is always the same, just the machine changes, add a CNAME to your DNS (3) pserver and ntserver work together fine (4) cvsnt doesn't support unc paths? See http://devguy.com/cvsnt and search for UNC (5) It's a bad idea to put your sandbox on a network share. Server to server shares are fine. Server to client shares are worse than bad.
