Thanks, but I'm trying to use Tortoise. Do I have the option? I tried not supplying a user name but then it didn't ask for a password or anything, and 'failed to create folder'. The client (workstation) - Does that have to have the exact same user setup as the server? Meaning, if I have an account Dave in CVSNT, and on the CVSNT server, does my workstation have to have a Dave account, with same password, or what? And do I need to use the passwd thing (config file)? I'm really very clueless about XP and users and accounts. I'm hoping to use CVSNT via Tortoise from a few different machines, as we have machines dedicated to different aspects, such as code, art, documents, and all are on different workstations. Thanks again Dave A.
