With Terminal Services you have another situation. In this case you have entered the LAN using dialup and then connected to the inside machine with TS. But in this case you are already logged in to the domain and there is no need for a root as you have described. It should be sufficient with: :sspi:reposerver:/MyRepository And you don't cvs login at all - sspi uses your local login, in this case you used "Administrator". Of course you have to look at the policies on the TS machine and verify that a TS login actually has permissions to use the network resources, this is not always the case. /Bo On Sun, 14 Sep 2003 16:10:23 -0700, "Ian Huynh" <ianh at hubspan.com> wrote: >I can't get it to work either. > > >I use terminal service from home to dial into machine A at a remote location, signed on to machine A as >an Administrator.
