"Local access to network share not supported" Error

[BEYZAIE Shamim]

Hi there,
I've just upgraded my version of WinCVS from v1.3.13.2 to v1.3.17.2

Our repository is stored on another server and is accessed directly accross
our LAN. Before the upgrade everything was working quite well, however now
it seems every time I try to perform any operation (update, commit, diff,
etc.) on a file the action is aborted with the following error message:

cvs [ {action} aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use -N
to override this error).

where 'action' is either diff, log, commit etc.....

I've looked through some old posts about this error but they only seem to
address the issue on a unix/linux configuration. I'm new to CVS so I was
wondering if anyone else has had this problem after upgrading to a newer
version of WinCVS.

thanks and regards,
Shamim
