Connecting to CVS on Linux from Windows

[Guitarist511]

Hello All -

I think I am missing some important piece to this puzzle. I've read my
companies docs as well as docs online and cannot figure this out. I use
Windows XP and have installed WinCVS. I have set up the configuration
information adding the host, selecting the password authentication, and
adding the port number 2401 for the pserver. I am then told to login at
the admin menu. What I don't understand is this login wants me to set a
home directory with the password file but the selections are only
directories on my windows machine. Also, what is this password file it
wants? I am very confused. Because of this, I also do not know how to
connect via the command line either to this remote machine.

If anyone can shed some light I would appreciate it much!!

Thanks
