Brad,

I also had problems specifying the CVSROOT on my client.  Both my client and
server are Win 2000 machines.

My repository is located in c:\cvstest on the server machine.  I could NOT
get the CVS command line client on my client machine to accept that as a
pathname.  I kept getting "no such repository" whenever I tried

    cvs -d :pserver:username at server:c:\cvstest login

and got the same thing even if I changed the direction of the slash:

    cvs -d :pserver:username at server:c:/cvstest login

I finally got it to work by setting the Repository Prefix (in the
Repositories tab of the server configuration dialog) to "C:/".  Now I use
this command:

    cvs -d :pserver:username at server:/cvstest

I wondered if the drive letter ("C:/") was messing up the command, so I set
it up so that my command doesn't need to include the drive letter, and now
it works.
