I'm still fairly new to CVSNT myself, but I'll try to point you in the right direction. Pardon if I state the obvious (or omit same ;). First off, you should NOT be trying to access the CVS repositories via a shared drive, it's strongly discouraged (read other messages / text here). It sounds like you might not have pserver enabled on machine B, or that the repository is not set up. Make sure you have the correct DLL's loaded, make sure you didn't disable it in the control panel app (which sets up the CVSNT server registry entries). Make sure you didn't mess up the repository prefix. It's also possible that the dual nic configuration is confusing it, albeit unlikely. Things to check: Can you ping B from B? from A? Is the port open? (try TELNET to 2401 [I *think* that's the pserver port!] and see what happens). Do other protocol(s) work (e.g. sspi)? You can also start the app from the command line with -test to get a more verbose startup. Good luck, Glen Starrett -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Allan Helboe Nielsen Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 8:38 PM To: 'cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook' Subject: [cvsnt] Error -1: No such file or directory 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 _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
