With XP there are a few gotchas thta you have to look out for: 1) You MUST have a network connection to a hub at *all* times. XP will unload the TCP/IP protocol (which CVS uses) when it finds the cable "unplugged" and this will break stuff big time. 2) You can work around the above if you install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter (a software network adapter) from Add New Hardware. When it is active TCP/IP stays loaded. 3) You should change the temp dir CVS uses from c:\WINDOWS\TEMP because this dir is not writable for normal users and I believe not even for SYSTEM. Create a new folder like C:\CVSTEMP and point CVSNT to this folder instead. Set permissions to this for Everyone full control (including SYSTEM). 4) I should have written this higher up: If you did not do so when you installed XP then convert your file system from FAT32 to NTFS now. Permissions are not properly handled unless NTFS is used. 5) Finally, with XP-Pro MS used something called "simple file sharing" and this is not what you want. Go to the folder options and scan down to the bottom of the checklist and uncheck simple file sharing. I believe this will help along a bit. /Bo On Sun, 12 Oct 2003 23:17:40 +0100, "David Smith" <david at smith70.plus.com> wrote: >Tried starting the cvsservice from command line with tracing: > >D:\dev\cvs\test\CVSROOT>cvsservice -test -i d:/dev/cvs/test >CVS 2.0.11 (Sep 30 2003) starting in test mode. >TEMP/TMP currently set to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP >Initialising socket...ok >Impersonation is enabled >Starting auth server on port 2401/tcp... >Socket Failed (Handle=ffffffff Family=23,Socktype=1,Protocol=6): An address >inco >mpatible with the requested protocol was used.
