You should get some kind of logging from the application - extnt.exe
itself is quite verbose if any errors occur. 

Invoking it is IDE specific - I can't really help there... a more
specific list might have the option (or the manuals).

Most (all?) IDEs will invoke something like:

extnt.exe  <hostname> -l <username> cvs server

extnt.exe checks this to some extent (it checks for 5 parameters, and
the '-l' in the second one).  You could try typing the command on the
command line and seeing what kind of output you get.

For eclipse, there's

No idea whether that's a standard dialog though (can't check at the
moment).
