I have a similar and working setup:
- DLink router (ADSL 24/7 connection)
- Port 2401 forwarding from the internal W2K server running CVSNT
- Protocol in use: SSPI

When connecting from Internet you have to point your CVSROOT towards
the router IP, not the server.
Also you must use the :sspi:user at router:/repo style of CVSROOT.
Then you need to do cvs login too (once only).
Give the NT password of the user and you are set.
