[cvsnt] Need help with cvslock (reposted)

[Mauro Maniforti]

Glenn
You are right, but I was talking about an entry in TCP/IP settings on the
lan adapters and NOT in HOST file. The host file was correct even during the
problem with cvslock.
I think the problem was related to the double mode of the net. The office
mode (with dhcp) and the home mode with a static ip address.

Regards,
Mauro
