So, do I understand it correctly: MyEclipse is the client, and CVSNT is
the server? BTW: Is MyEclipse a variant of Eclipse?

Note that Eclipse uses its own CVS client, which has its own problems.
Furthermore, CVSNT is NoT CVS, ;) as is WinCVS. WinCVS builds on top of
CVSNT, but CVSNT has diverged much from CVS. Thus, chances are higher
you will get good responses to your problem on a mailing list linked
from

  http://www.march-hare.com/cvsnt/

or some "MyEclipse" (or Eclipse) based mailing list.

If the tags are actually there, you could check it out from the command
line:

  cvs co -r TAGNAME projectname

with CVSROOT set accordingly. However, this does not explain why your
setup does not show you the tags.

HTH,
