What implementation of the CVS server are you using? If you're using the
WinNT binaries, make sure you specify the whole repository path
(including drive name and all folders, e.g "C:\my\repository") on both
server and client,and not use a relative path. I'm not sure if this is
still a problem in Eclipse 3.x, but it fixed the problems I had when
using the WinNT version of CVS with Eclipse 2.x
