CVS is *very* I/O intensive and will need to create large numbers of files during operations, files that are created, renamed and deleted in rapid succession. Not very feasable across a network. Instead as a test do this (replace the two names with proper data): cvs -d :sspi:cvsserver_name:/repository_alias_name ls This should display a list of the directories at the top of your repository on the server. Typically in a repository with some stuff inside (like my test server has) you will get a listing similar to this: E:\temp>cvs -d :sspi:ALTAIR:/PC ls Listing modules on server Advance BosseTest CVSMailer CVSNT CVSROOT ImportTest251 ModuleAA ModuleImp ModuleImpx ModuleXX ModuleYY ModuleZZ E:\temp> In your case you will probably only get the CVSROOT entry, but what this does show you is that you have a working client/server connection and you *do not* have to use the shared drive. It will be much safer, faster and correct. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
