So, as a very fast guide: 1) DO NOT share B:\Repository using a Windows share. 2) Make sure you set up an alias for the repository when you set up the CVSNT server on the XP box. You did install the CVSNT server on that box, right? 3) Allow write access for the users to the files in the repo. 4) Use a CVSROOT of the form :sspi:NAME_OF_XP_BOX:/RepoAlias to access the repository. - Peter
