Hi Dave, I just got my remote access working recently over :sserver. I couldn't use :sspi unless I VPNed to our corporate network. However, I am using my domain account to authenticate because aliased my domain account into the passwd file using: cvs passwd -a -D <domain name> <real account name> So you should be ok over sserver regardless of whether you use a cvs username or a domain username. Regarding the servername issue, I was initially able to connect by hardcoding my server's name into my hosts file along with the public IP address I need to use to hit it from remote location. That way my CVSROOT is exactly the same as it is when I am local to the server, but the system would resolve it to the public IP address that I needed to use from remote location. Eventually we ended up registering the server in DNS so that the name would resolve to the correct IP address so now I just use cvsserver.mydomain.com as my servername in CVSROOT. I hope that helps a little. -matt <david.arendash at manyone.net> wrote in message news:mailman.2403.1099426662.21094.cvsnt at cvsnt.org... > So I finally got CVSNT + Tortoise working for me on my LAN, > where I can specify the computer's name as the server name, > ex: :sspi:CVSserver:/cvsnt/archive > > and connect, since I have the same user/password on both client > and server. > > Now I want to access remotely.
