Ok so far...

We don't know anything about cvsnt. You won't get much help here.

That doesn't make sense. A repository would contain ",v" revision
control files and those are not suitable for a web site.

Maybe I follow. The Tortoise menu to "make into a module", or some
such?

There's also a "CVS / Add Content" if you right-click on a folder.

That's the repository. I hope.

What file is unchanged ?

Now I'm lost. Why are you changing files on the server ?
I *think* you want to run your web site off a checked-out sandbox
and that you want that sandbox to be updated automatically whenever
someone commits from any other sandbox. The Unix way to do this
is documented at
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs_18.html#SEC177
but I don't know the Windows equivalent.
It may be that you are trying to solve two problems at the same
time. Forget the web site for a moment, can you get CVS to work
between the three developers and the CVSNT server ? From your
posting it is not clear that you did.
