Bo's right--Named Pipes does have a lot of extra overhead--I avoid named pipes as a channel used when I have anything that could connect from overseas, or anywhere on the WAN for that matter. Fast hops won't notice a difference but slower ones will see a significant difference. I typically use this option with SQL Server connections--but it is equally applicable here.

Since it does not use named pipes it might help in your case. SSPI runs exclusively over port 2401 using TCP/IP, so there is no longer a need for a WINS server resolution or NetBios or all that other crap that can't even be routed. And SSPI can use the current workstation login or alternatively use the :sspi:user at server: setting that allows you to use cvs login to establish the connection. /Bo On Sun, 16 Mar 2003 09:31:28 -0800, Anand Arvind <anand.arvind at click2learn.com> wrote: >We have been on CVSNT for more than 3 years now for our engineering >group and if we work from our US offices things work well.
