Look in the FAQ on the www.cvshome.org page. They say: 
"This is a *very* common common problem. Read the "Troubleshooting"
section of the Cederqvist (CVS Manual). Pay special attention to the
subsection titled, "Trouble making a connection to a CVS server". The
manual is located online at http://cvshome.org/docs/manual.";

hope this help
