problems with remote connection |

Hello all,
I cannot checkout modules from a remote linux machine using the commandline
on a win2000 machine. When I use WinCVS's gui app it works. I have always
used the gui in the past but want to get into all the other options
available.
I have used both the standard win2000 shell and cygwin to try to connect.
First I try:
$>cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/u/repos login
I can login successfully, next I try:
$>cvs checkout doc
It gives me an error saying I need to use the -d option or specify the
CVSROOT. So I specify the CVSROOT and try to checkout again. This time I get
an error saying:
> 192.168.1.100:Connection refused
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above message if
any)
I noticed that on windows you need to set the HOME variable and I tried that
too but no go.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Rob
