Re: :pserver: with cvshome's cvs 1.11.17 and no password prompt

I don't think this is the correct list for your question.  The CVS lists 
would better serve you better, this list is for TortoiseCVS issues (but 
I'll give it a shot anyway):

Looks like that might be some sort of firewall breakage.  Can you telnet 
to the server on port 2401?  Are you running a firewall?

Your CVSROOT looks correct to me.

That's typically not recommended, since there are issues in working with 
a network drive, but it should work.

Another tip:  CVSNT runs on Linux (and several other *nix systems) and 
has a superior feature set compared to cvshome CVS.
