The cvs bindings to some server are "hard" linked. They stored in the
cvs sandboxes as the Root and Repository files. When you change the
server you can either just modify all /cvs/Root files. Either open
from source control specifying right location. For the last case you
should be sure that the local directory is empty, and indirectly not
contain another bindings in /cvs subfolder.
So, just please check is your folder empty before you pull sources
from source control.
Also, as the advise, better use symbolic name for cvs server. If this
is not setup in your DNS resolver(server) you can just add line into
{windows}\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. For example:
192.168.1.4 cvsserver
After that you can use symbolic name cvsserver in CVSROOT. If later
you change it's IP you just need to change this in hosts file.

I used to connect to a CVS server at 192.168.1.4 from VS.NET. I
subsequently changed the IP address of the CVS server to 192.168.100.4. It
is evidently not possible to change the location of a CVS repository with
your plugin so I deleted the project and did File->Source Control->Open
From Source Control... and got the dialog with all the CVS settings. This
was showing the old repository at 192.168.1.4. I duly changed this to
192.168.100.4. When I click OK I get a progress dialog that says that it's
trying to connect to 192.168.1.4, despite me having specified
192.168.100.4. It obviously fails to access the CVS repository.

Is there a workaround?
