RE: What should I do with CVS after IP address changed

[Christopher.Fouts]

Either 

1. set your CVSROOT environment variable in your startup scirpts
   appropriately. Ex, for c-shell's .cshrc file
      > setenv CVSROOT :<access type>:141.106.32.35:/your_cvs_path

   access type here is either pserver, rsh, ssh, etc.

2. Or from directly from command line

     > cvs co -d 141.106.32.35:/your_cvs_path blah_blah

#1 is preferred.
