Tim, WinCVS actually uses CVSNT client by default (CVSNT is open source but optimised for Windows servers and clients).
It has a separate mailing list for reporting problems too, and if you use CVSNT for your server (Unix,Windows,Mac,Linux) then it supports more other (more secure?) protocols. Mailing list and download information is available at: http://www.cvsnt.com Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Mark D.

Consider looking at your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files. Try to telnet 192.168.2.3 2401 while you are directly connected to the repository server machine and then again when you are on your client. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
