The -N is to server as a warning--you shouldn't be doing it that way. 
Set up CVSNT on one machine with it's server components.  Take a look at 
Bo's installation tips for help on setting up a server, then use one of 
the normal protocols (not mapped drives) to connect to the server.


	cvs -d :sspi:myserver:/test checkout mymodule
