I tried using :sspi:. 
 
1 I duplicated the user account from the client PC to the server PC. The account has no password.
 
2 CVSROOT
client - :sspi:Owner at Lab39:C:\CVSNT\repo
server - C:\CVSNT\repo
 
3 On the client, I tried
cvs co CVSROOT
 
4 I got this response:
connect to Lab39:2401 failed: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. cvd [checkout aborted]: Connection to server failed
 

What am I doing wrong?

If you duplicate the user accounts on your workstation PC:s to the
server PC (create accounts with the same username and password) then
you can use :sspi:, which is most transparent and easy to use.

If this is not possible then the next thing to do (in a closed environ-
ment like a company LAN) is to create one or two user accounts on the
server for CVS access. THen use the :pserver: protocol.
In this case you will have to add the allowed users for pserver by
executing the cvs passwd command and add the CVS users with their
CVS passwords while aliasing each of them to the created user account
on the server.
This will make CVS operate with the permissions of that server account
but store the :pserver: usernames into the CVS logs so that you still
will get to know who did what.

Hello,
We have several WINXP machines. I have cvsnt server on one and cvsnt 
client on another. What combination of protocol and accounts will allow 
me to access the server from the client?
Bill
