I am supposed to make CVS available through LAN, but I can't make it work locally, first. I have managed to make it work with Local mounted driver option, without any identification, but this option is not available in Eclipse, which is supposed to work as client. I thought that pserver is next simplest protocol to use.

I remember that last time I worked with CVS, I didn't have problems like this, and that I didn't have to do anything except for installing CVSNT and client software. > >CVSROOT in WinCVS preferences is > >:pserver:stanislav at localhost:/C:\cvs. > > The root should be: > :sspi:localhost:/cvs Is it possible to make it work like this in Eclipse as well? I didn't find any other protocol selection there except for pserver, ext and extssh. Thank you for your help, Stanislav
