Tony & other networking people, I would like some help on this, it totally mystifies me.... I have two PC:s, one a laptop and the other a desktop. On both these I have checked out the same codebase from a CVSNT server accessible via a PPTP tunnel through the Internet. On the laptop my login name is not the same as an account on the remote network domain so I have set cvsroot as :sspi:bosse at cvsserver:/PC whereas on the desktop I am logged in with an account that has a duplicate (name password) on the remote domain, so the CVSROOT is in this case simply :sspi:cvsserver:/PC. For the laptop I have then had to do a cvs login, but that was before I checked out the code. Now the strange problem: On the laptop I have a number of modified files I want to commit, but first I need to do an update. But the update results only in a long (network timeout?) delay after which the update exits with code 1. Curiously this only happens when I do an update that contains changed files (either update on the directory or directly on a changed file). If I do the same on a non-edited file the update runs through fully. And I can easily do other things like graph the offending file in WinCvs or do a status etc. But cvs update on my changed files fails miserably. (I have seen that the cvs server will actually create a temporary directory during the time I am waiting for the update to complete, after this it is deleted). When I test the same on the desktop all operations work fine.... What should I be looking for? Of course the real edited files reside on my laptop, not on the desktop. CVSNT version on the server is 2.0.26 and the clients are 2.0.11 ??? /Bo Berglund
