It is, but localhost does exist.  That's where the nonundrum is.

C:\Documents and Settings\Damien McKenna>ping localhost

Ditto.

Yep.

I haven't veered from the default configuration, so they would be running as
SYSTEM.

Nope, it just gives a mention of when the services start and stop.

That's nice to know, one marked off the check list.

One thing that I _did_ see, in the ZoneAlarm log, was that the CVS command
hit the DNS server in my router, which it shouldn't have needed to do to
access localhost?  I don't know if it was doing that while doing the
connection to the cvsservice or cvslock.

Has anyone noticed conflicts with other software, eg InCD, DaemonTools, etc?
  I'll do some more testing over the weekend...

Another thing I tried was I attempted to import some files into a new module. 
   It worked.  I verified that the files are actually in the repository.

...

Ok.  I upgraded to 2.0.30, did the same thing (tried checkout out a module) 
and this time it crashed! :-)  I saved out the debug info and I'll wing it 
away to the powers that be.  At last something solid to go on!
