RE: problem using TortoiseCVS remotely, local cvs access works fine

Ian,

I see you've found a solution, but next time there is a different newsgroup for 
TortoiseCVS questions:
http://www.tortoisecvs.org/support.shtml

Also note that I think NONE of what you are doing with putty tunnels and port 
forwarding is necessary.  TortoiseCVS uses the CVSNT client and that includes 
putty and an ssh protocol, your CVSROOT can simply be :ssh:server:/repo or 
:ssh:putty-session-name:/repo

Finally - TortoiseCVS works "best" with CVSNT (and yes CVSNT runs on linux and 
is GPL/free just like CVS).  (note: "best" is a little relative I guess, but 
features like changesets, mergepoints etc that TortoiseCVS support are only 
"activated" when using a CVSNT server).

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
