Yup, it has to do with tunnelling. This link will probably be of some help to you, if you haven't already seen it: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsonwin32.html Personally, I use MindTerm to set up the tunnel (and to do command-line things on the server). Some other folks use PuTTY. Once you have the tunnel set up, you can use CVS whichever way you like. I tend to use WinCVS for updates and diffs, because I like the colorised updates and the ability to use tkdiff for colorised side-by-side diffs. On the other hand, I *always* use Windows command-line CVS for commits and tagging, because WinCVS doesn't pick up the CVS templates, doesn't do any line wrapping on checkin comments, and I generally trust it less for writing to the repository. ;-} BTW, which version of Cygwin are you using? I had lots of problems trying to use CVS within a Cygwin shell, until I forced it to use my Windows version of the CVS client.
