Please supply the complete connection string (CVSROOT). Typically this would be something like: :sspi:cvsserver:/Repository Your user 'lqthai' is not the name of a user account on the CVS server (as the error message says). You can only alias CVS logins to real existing user accounts on the PC. Additionally, you do not specify the server operating system (XP is not enough). CVSNT requires XP-Pro, you cannot use XP-Home because Microsoft has limited its ability to network. As always when you post here you should at least state which version of CVSNT you use (including the last 4-digit build number) and the operating system including its service pack level. The CVSROOT used and the command you have problem with must also be specified. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
