Can't clone Mercurial repo on Windows, can do it on Linux

Commands I'm using:

this works on Linux, but on Windows I get:

destination directory: 192.168.0.122:8000
abort: The directory name is invalid: 192.168.0.122:8000

if I do "hg clone http://IP_ADDRESS:8000/foo" then I get this on server side:

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 1681)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm using Mercurial 1.7.3 on Windows XP.

Try...

hg clone http://IP_ADDRESS:8000 DIRNAME

for some directory name DIRNAME. Windows is a bit more picky about what characters can and can't be in file (or directory) names, and thus it doesn't allow things like / or :, so instead you have to give it a name for a folder to clone into.
