I am getting an authentication error using CVSNT with Eclipse, I believe this is a result of a domain name change.

I am using CVSNT 2.0.11 / Windows 2000 / Eclipse 3.0 (Build id: 200308281813).  I am using pserver authentication to access the CVSNT server from Eclipse.  There were no problems with connections between CVS and Eclipse until there was a change in the Domain name. 

Since the Domain name change, when I try to access the CVS repository though eclipse, I get the messsage "Authentication error:  Incorrect user name or password".  In the past, whenever my Windows password had changed, I would be prompted by Eclipse to enter the new password when I would try to access the CVS repository.  After entering the new password, the connection would work fine.    Now when I reenter my user id and password,  it is not accepted and I still get the Authentication error message.  

The SystemAuth in the CVSROOT/config file is set to No.  I am not using a passwd file, only the Windows authentication with pserver.  

How did the change in Domain name affect my connection between CVS and Eclipse, and how can I restore the connection?  Thanks for your advice!
