cvsnt 2.0.51a
win xp pro

well i am a beginner to cvsnt, and look what I got myself into..

installed cvsnt according to the cvsnt installation tip from the website.
created repository: g:/cvs/cvsrepo/temp

could check out cvsrepo and alter the config file using 
set cvsroot=g:\cvs\cvsrepo
cvs co cvsroot

now when I tried to use sspi, i got the can't authenticate-server
client can't agree on an auth scheme error.

according to the suggestions given in this group, uninstalled mcaffee
av and ran winsockxpfix. that did seem to get rid of the error,
however now i am getting this:

>set cvsroot=:sspi:cygnus:/test
>cvs ls
>cvs [ls aborted]: /test: no such repository

infact any command produces no such repository. this is when the cvs
server is on the same machine. on using wincvs from a different
machine i get the same error.

cvsservice -test produces the following when cvsnt is running:
CVS 2.0.51a (Aug  2 2004) starting in test mode.
TEMP/TMP currently set to G:\cvs\CVSTemp
Initialising socket...ok

f each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.  (n
ot fatal)
Error: All socket binds failed.

and this when it is stopped:
CVS 2.0.51a (Aug  2 2004) starting in test mode.
TEMP/TMP currently set to G:\cvs\CVSTemp
Initialising socket...ok
Impersonation is enabled

finally this is the output of cvsdiag:
