It's most likely related to DNS resolving.  What is
your value of CVSROOT?  Is DNS used to resolve the
name of your server into an IP address?

If so, here are two ideas to try:

 - Fix your DNS setup so that resolving the server
   doesn't use DNS.  In particular, use a "hosts" file.

 - Use an IP address instead of a server name in
   your CVSROOT setting.

Hope this helps.

Mitch.
