Please read the FAQ at the information you need to supply:

Send the results of a trace and a cvsdiag at least:
cvs -ttt -d d:/cvsroot init
Cvssdiag

Losing MDNS is no showstopper, but it may indicate something is
seriously wrong with the TCP stack.

> Commodo Firewall Pro (both cvs and cvslock allowed connections)
> AVG Anti-Virus

Try stopping those services and trying again...

You should be able to telnet to port 2401 and 2402:
telnet localhost 2401
.
.
.
telnet localhost 2402
.
.
.


If either port does not respond then your TCP/IP is broken.
