Setting up 0.5 DR5 Server - CVS Question

Ok, I am installing things just fine but am having a bit of trouble with the CVS program. I would appreciate some help. Non-help posts will be ignored because I'm sick of wasting my time on them.

I am at the following place:

Quote:

Get EQEMu Source From CVS

Open a DOS prompt
Win98/95/ME - start->run->command
Win2k/XP/2k3 - start->run->cmd

Type in the following:
c:
cd \eqemu\cvs
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu -z3 co eqemu
NOTE: Press enter when it asks you for a password (leave it blank)
NOTE: Repeat these commands on failure (sourceforge's network gets swamped at times). Sometimes, it takes me 10-15 tries!
NOTE: If you get the following error: 'cvs' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. - YOU NEGLECTED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ABOVE! The section you skipped over is named Add CVS to %PATH%

After installing Python (a program required by WinCVS apparently), I did the above (changing the file paths as needed and changing the comand "cvs" to "wincvs" since there is no cvs.exe program in the cvs folder) and I got WinCVS to pop up two seperate programs with the following output:

Quote:

Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct 2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
CVSROOT: -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu login (password authentication)
TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter)

The output is the same in both programs. I also have a view of my C: folder.

I think I am having some kind of login problem. Have been playing with login settings and am getting a little closer but still can't get anywhere. Would someone be willing to post a screencap of their login settings in WinCVS?

OK, I'm getting closer. I can now get to the password area but after I press enter (like the instructions say) leaving the password blank, I get kicked back out of CVS. Output is:

Quote:

cvs -d ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu -z3 co eqemu" login
cvs [login aborted]: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/eqemu -z3 co eqemu for user anonymous

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

OK, Success! I guess it is a good thing I am an experimenter.

I tried going back to the command promt again and trying something a bit different. I found a cvs.exe in the CVSNT folder. So I did this:

Quote:

Open Command Prompt
C:
cd \eqemu\cvs\wincvs\cvsnt\ (My file path for this)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eqemu -z3 co eqemu

And now I am downloading the files! So, I guess I don't need a response to this!

Now, I wonder how long it typically takes to download all of these files... Guess I'll find out.
