Of course you can, you just need to set things up correctly.

So you have installed CVSNT as a service on your laptop, fine. Have
you followed my advice posted here a week or so ago? If not then I
suggest you have a look at it and check up on your settings.
The title of my posting is: 'Installing CVSNT and making it work'

Which client did you install? You did not say here. If it is WinCvs
then there are a few issues between the cvs.exe used by WinCvs and the
CVSNT cvs.exe thta have to be resolved.
>I have set CVSROOT in the User environment variable to :local:/c:/cvs
Don't use environment variables, set the connect string in the client
instead or directly in the command (-d option). You will have more
control.
AND: The root is incorrect! You should use
:ntserver:<laptopname>:c:/cvs
>I have CVS for NT directory in the SYSTEM path variable.
I am guessing now, but did you let the setup install to the directory
c:\program files\cvs for NT\ or did you change this to
c:\programs\cvsnt???
I always recommend people NOT to install CVS programs of any kind to
directory search paths that contain spaces. Spaces can play bad tricks
on you...
>I'm using ntserver.
No, you are not after setting the cvsroot environment variable (see
above). What connection method is used depends entirely on how you set
the connection string AKA cvsroot. If it starts with :local: then you
will not be using the service at all.

To be expected

You are almost there, but I really recommend that you take alook at
the posting I mentioned above. It has solved install problems for many
users by the feedback I have received.
