Hi,

I'm after installing CVSNT on a server and it seems to be running 
grand, I  can connect to it remotely from Netbeans and 
checkin&checkout modules without any problems.

Now I've intsalled wincvs v2.0.2.4 on a local machine and I'm trying 
to connect to the CVS server using it but I'm having problems. It 
seems to successfully login into the CVS server as I get the message:

cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/Test login 
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401:/Test

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

However when I go to browse the repository (test) it doesn't seem to 
see any of the folders/files I've checked in from Netbeans IDE( the 
folders exist as i've checked the repository on the server 
manually).But I when i browse the repostory after logging in from 
WinCVS successfully Im getting the following error message:

cvs ls: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the -d option
cvs[ls aborted] or set the CVSROOT environment variable

As far as I'm aware the CVSROOT is set as I can logon to the CVS 
server but I seem to be missing something as i cant browse the 
repository.  I thought once you successfully login, the CVSROOT and 
password are remembered automatically so you dont have to re-enter 
them again and again. 

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I've been stuck on this for a 
few weeks so I'd really appreciate some help with this.


Thanks in advance,
S
