You could have a firewall installed that is blocking proper operation (some firewalls still interfere if merely installed an inactive). NTServer and Local gain access via different paths, but neither use port 2401 that pserver and sspi use. Also, check that you installed pserver and sspi protocols on both the client and server (sspi isn't part of the old cvs, but only part of newer cvsnt--you might want to upgrade). You can check you are getting a basic connection to your server by telnet to 2401, hit enter a couple times. It should say "cvs [server aborted]: bad auth protocol start:". Sspi can either use a username + login or integrated, username is only required when you're running across a firewall. Regards, Glen Starrett
