That explains why it falls over on machines with only dial-up internet
access then.

I have to run with LockServer=none, LockDir=H:\CVS\Locks and the cvslock
service disabled.

The standard installation will work, but only if I briefly connect and then
re-start the lock server with a network present.

A stand-alone CVS server might seem daft but some of us do work at home
occasionally :-)

It would be nice to get this sorted out before use of the lock server
becomes compulsory.

Yes it's normal.

This is the port for ZeroConf (Bonjour / Rendevous) publication.

If you really really want to you can disable it in the CVSNT control
panel, on the advanced tab.
