It sounds like something really is broken in your networking stack.

Try running the CVSNT server in test mode (I think it's "cvsservice -t 
-t -t").

Try connecting to that server from your client using telnet "telnet 
hanshorn 2401".  Type some stuff.  You should get some error message 
from CVSNT server.

Assuming both the above were dismal failures, I'd get more drastic. 
Uninstall all AV / Firewalls (unhook your Internet connect first :). 
Make sure XP's built in firewall is disabled.  I might even try to go 
into networking, rip out stuff, then reinstall the pieces you need--but 
that's a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing.  I don't even 
know if it would help, but by the sound of it, it just might.
