The `:' after the 1000 isn't allowed by the new CVSROOT format. 
Everything between the third `:' of a pserver spec and the first `/' is 
read as a port number.  That's why I recommended trying to remove the 
drive spec (`c:') on the NT server side.  Not sure that's possible, but 
I haven't heard too many complaints about it, so I've been assuming it is.
