Kevin, Weird. You've got almost exactly the same setup as my laptop and yet yours crashes and mine doesn't.... Do you not have any network devices at all or is it just that they are disconnected? Ie: do you have an 802.11b card or an ethernet port on the laptop? The only laptop I have without a network port is an 8 year old acer but it's currently running XP Home so cant run the server to test... Can you send the results of the command ipconfig/all Certainly the workaround is to turn off zeroconf publication - not to disable the lockserver. Glad to hear that is working.

On Windows XP Pro SP2, with CNXT V9x PCI Modem, Windows Firewall. CVSNT versions including 2.5.01.1976, 2.5.02.2064, 2.5.02.2088 A fatal error Faulting application cvslock.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module howl.dll, version 0.9.5.2, fault address 0x0000a1eb. occurs during service start-up if Zeroconf publication is enabled. If Zeroconf publication is turned off, or the cvslock service started manually from the control panel after establishing an internet connection then no error occurs. I don't necessarily regard this as a CVSNT problem, but you did ask for details.

Kevin, > That explains why it falls over on machines with only > dial-up internet access then. I travel a lot (!) and have a repository on my laptop and it's never crashed (currently 2.5.02.2091). The problem you are describing here is different to the multicast question - please report the actual commands and error messages in a separate post with a descriptive subject line. You can also install a loopback connection as described here: Win2000: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;236869 Or WinXP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;839013 > I have to run with LockServer=none, > LockDir=H:\CVS\Locks and the cvslock service > disabled. That feature is no longer supported.

This statement implies that sometimes it doesn't work. Please specify what you think "working" is, why you think that it is not "working" and the exact circumstances involved are. Also remember to include the CVSNT client and Server version numbers, Operating system name and version and service pack level, and the exact commands involved and the exact wording of any error messages. Traces and other system information (set, ipconfig, cvsdiag etc) are also often helpful.
