Looks like the server can't access it's lockserver for some reason.  The 
server connects to localhost (itself) because by default the LockServer 
is restricted to localhost only.  Did you add a firewall / etc. since 
last using that server?  Maybe LockServer is running but somehow hung 
(never heard of that happening though)??

It's the cvsnt server that's having the problem, not WinCVS (confirm at 
command line, of course).
