I actually copied and pasted the command from your e-mail, so I'm sure it's
correct. I tried again, and will send the results to the other e-mail
address (support etc.).

> I'm assuming you are just using the standard cmd.exe

Yes. Just the standard command prompt, Windows Vista on the client, Windows
XP Pro on the server.

No server side cvsrc according to the command you gave me, unless I
mis-typed something:

C:\Users\Andy>cvs -d :pserver:Andy at New-P4:/clientwebsite co -p CVSROOT/cvsrc
===================================================================
Checking out CVSROOT/cvsrc
RCS:  /clientwebsite/CVSROOT/cvsrc,v
VERS: 1.1
***************

However: I also took a look in the /CVSROOT directory on the server: "cvsrc"
is an empty file, but there is a "cvsrc,v". I will send that along, as well.


> A local cvsrc file can be found with:
> type %HOME%\.cvsrc

I actually get a "Windows cannot find the path" with any variation on
%HOME%. I did a Search on the client PC (Which is running Windows Vista
Business) for "*cvsrc*" and it found nothing.

At this point I should probably remind you that I was also using the PushOK
plug-in. Could that be storing the old path somewhere? I looked through all
the files in the hidden "CVS" directory that PushOK creates, and I did find
one file with the old repository path, a file named "root". I fixed it. I
still get the same results...
And I was also using WinCVS.

I'll send the new log files and the cvsrc file shortly.


Thanks again,

-Andrew
