Not true, cvs uses the CVSROOT it is told. It can be told in
different
ways:
From the metadata in the CVS/Root file if used within a
sandbox
On the command line using cvs -d <CVSROOT>
<cvscommand>
Via the environment variable CVSROOT
Note that the first option overrides all other, so if you
are located
inside a checked out sandbox when you issue the cvs command
then
it will use that sandbox' metadata.

What do you mean by /repsoitorysymboliclink??
What should be here is the *published* repositry name served
out by
the cvs server you are connecting to.

Which means what? Do you mean that you are looking at the
*repository*
via a network file share from somewhere? Not recommended!

If you are unable to execute the following command
successfully you
cannot expect cvs to work either:
ping IPA.DD.RES.S
In such case you have to find out the IP address of that
server and add
it to your C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file
After that I suspect the connection problem goes away.

Did you really set up a pserver user by the name
SERVERNAME2???
Both pserver and sserver protocols require previous setup of
the cvs
users on the server and if you haven't done so you can't
use these
protocols.

Info is supposed to get you data from the server, but you
have not
specified the server to use....

WinCvs is not a CVS server nor is it a CVS client. It is
only a *front
end*
to a cvsnt client. As such it has little to do with
mirroring the module
to a public server.

The normal way in such cases is to connect to the webserver
with FTP and
then transfer the files you need to the proper places on the
server.
