Hello, group: I'm trying to set up a CVS server and repository. The computers will all be Windows-based, including the server. It's running Win XP Home. The computers in question are able to connect to each other through the LAN; it's not a physical problem. I am able to use CVSNT to create a respository and access on my local machine. Yes, I know that I'm strongly discouraged from doing this, but I don't have the resources to get a new server just for the respository. I am unable to use a remote machine to check out anything. I get the errors: cvs server: Error connecting to localhost: No such host is known. cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't connect to lock server. The errors are identical on WinCVS and Tortoise CVS.Both the CVSNT and CVSNT Locking Service services are running. On the repository machine, I can check code in and out, no problem. When using any other machine, I get this error. Clearly, I have set something up incorrectly, but I can't figure out what it is. Please don't tell me to ask my System Administrator - it's me (by default), and I already know what I'll say. Can you help me out? Thank you.
