I am using eclipse too, and I use it for tagging and branching too. If one user creats a branch, the others can't see the branch, I don't know if it is a problem. At other time, it works well. I use prefix, set in CVSNT service control panel. I use :ntserver: protocol, and connet by eclipse using :pserver: protocol, don't know why, but this works fine. Hope helpful.
