Re: cvs connecting to a repository on Windows broken?


Is the server a Cygwin CVS? If so, try using /cygdrive/c in stead of c:\

:pserver:andyt@javsource1:/cygdrive/c/eglrepository

HTH

rlc

NB: if this WAG doesn't help, try providing a bit more info, such as what 
kind of CVS is running on the Win2000 server
