Re: cvs server with different names

[Dave Strauss]

That's exactly what's happening, and it's the way it's supposed to
work.  CVS uses the Root file to find the repository that the files
came from.  If you want to use the same IP address for both locations
just use the "long form" (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in both places.

Alternatively you can change the Root files (a bad idea) or check out a
new copy when you're remote (which probably is not what you want to
do).
