Let me narrow the focus of my question. I had already decided not to try using sspi over VPN, because of advice regarding limited authentication. I only want to be able to make pserver work. When I am locally connected, the connection string :pserver:cvsuser at pc325:/cvsrepo works fine. When connected via VPN, this doesn't work, even though I am able to ping pc325 and am able to access various network shares. I have also tried substituting the ip address i.e. :pserver:cvsuser at 192.168.0.5:/cvsrepo This also works connected locally but not via VPN. What else, other than being able to access the server node by name or IP address, is there that could be causing a problem? TIA, Worth :pserver:jhwallace at 192.168.0.5:\cvsrepo "Bo Berglund" <Bo.Berglund at system3r.se> wrote in message news:mailman.36.1126106296.6455.cvsnt at cvsnt.org... I have seen this myself when I connect to certain remote networks over VPN. It is probably due to the way the network handles logins and user authentication. My advice to you is to change the connection string as follows: If you are logged in as Charlie to the network and use the CVSROOT :sspi:cvsserver:/repo Then change this to: :sspi:Charlie at cvsserver:/repo You can do this easily using the ChangeCVSROOT macro if you use WinCvs. After you have done this, open the VPN connection and in the sandbox issue a cvs login command and enter the password for Charlie. If the login was successful you are ready to go. This will work both when you are on your local LAN and when you use VPN. Done it myself several times. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Worth Robbins Sent: den 7 september 2005 16:08 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Connecting to CVSNT Server via VPN I have a CVSNT 2.5.02.2064 server implemented on Windows XP Pro sp2, static IP address 192.168.0.5. I am connecting from a laptop on the same LAN, using TortoiseCVS-1.8.18. I have no problem connecting using both sspi and pserver. When I disconnect the laptop from the LAN, and connect to the LAN via Symantec Client VPN (I have a Symantec Gateway Security 360R box securing the LAN), I cannot connect to CVS using either sspi or pserver. Other connectivity works i.e. I can ping the server from the laptop by both the name (PC325) and the IP address (192.168.0.5). I can access network shares from the laptop. Any idea what could be wrong? _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
