There are two different versions of Windows XP, XP-Home and XP-Pro. You don't say which one you are using, but the only XP version suited for a CVSNT server is XP-Pro.

Running the server as the administrator is really opening up a security hole. You should use the setting: Run as user: (client user) > >I have given the folder coantaining the CVSREPO folder full sharing rights >(checked 'allow network useres to share my files' box). Again, who told you to do this? It is absolutely *against* all advice for CVS to open up a *share* on the repository. This is about the last thing you shuld do with the server. The respository should be *hidden* from all users via the network, the *only* access should be via the CVSNT service itself! >TortoiseCVS 1.8.22 (SSH TortoisePlink rel 0.56) installed on PC-1 and PC-2 > >TortoiseCVS works fine on PC-1, checking out with local protocol. But no >matter what I try, I cannot get TortoiseCVS to work on PC-2. I have tried >checking out with different protocols without success. Any ideas anyone? The first two comments I have made relate to CVSNT, which is the subject of this list. But for Tortoise you definitely have to turn to their separate user forum or mail list. Tortoise is not discussed here. /Bo Berglund
