That's what I'm thinking too. The problem is finding what's causing it.

I tried that, didn't make any difference :-(
I also tried removing ZoneAlarm and AVG, again, no difference.
Let me give more detail as to what I've done.
All I did with CVSNT was create a repository with the control panel. I
didn't import anything, it is a completely empty repository. I then login
like so:
cvs -d:sspi:damien at damiens:\mine login
("damiens" is localhost, it works the same if I just have "localhost") which
works fine, or at least no error is given, and then attempt to checkout the
CVSROOT module like so:
cvs -d:sspi:damien at damiens:\mine co CVSROOT
"netstat -a -o" includes the following:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID
TCP Damiens:2401 Damiens:0 LISTENING 272
TCP Damiens:2402 Damiens:0 LISTENING 252
PID 252 is CVSLOCK.EXE while 272 is cvsservice.exe.
When I telnet to port 2402 I get this:
CVSLock 1.2 Ready
If I type something and hit enter I get this:
001 FAIL Unknown command 'dfdf'
Any other suggestions on what to try?
