I've installed CVSNT 1.11.1.3 build 72 on two computers, A and B, both running Windows XP Pro. On both computers everything works fine when I'm working local: On both computers I've made a repository in d:\repos and cvsnt itself is installed in c:\opensource\cvsnt. The d: drive is shared on both computers, I have no domain but the computers are connected vis a switch and are on the same workgroup. The configuration of A and B are (more or less) the same, though B has two network adapters - the other is connected to a router (accessing the internet). To avoid mistakes that adapter is disabled and I have no firewall running. I use the same useraccount (regarding both Windows XP and cvsnt) on A and B, SystemAuth=no and my username is in the "passwd" file. My useraccount for Windows have administrator rights. As stated before working local works on both A and B On A I can use the pserver protocol like: cvs -d :pserver:username at A:d:\repos login and cvs -d :pserver:username at A:d:\repos co module On B I get the following error-messages when using pserver: CVS [login aborted]: Error reading from server B: -1: No such file or directory CVS [checkout aborted]: Error reading from server B: -1: >From B I CAN CHECKOUT from A: cvs -d :pserver:username at A:d:\repos co module but from A I get the same error-messages as above when checking out from B. My conclusion is that I'm not able to use the pserver protocol on B whether the connection is made from A or B - apparently there is trouble reading the repository. I've checked and double-checked everything (like shared access to D: on B etc.). What does the error message mean?? - Allan
