This is not a cvs command!
Try this instead:

cvs ls

This means that the CVSNT lock service is not running on machine
"computername".
Check in the CVSNT control panel that both the service and the lock
service are running.
If they are then you are having problems with one of:
- Firewall may block TCP access. You must open ports or switch off
firewall.

- Antivirus is blocking access. Disable AV software or enter some kind
of allowed access. Note that NOD32 is NOT COMPATIBLE with CVSNT and
will make CVSNT unusable.

Don't mess with the installation defaults until you have got tyhe
system up and running! Keep all defaults while verifying operation.
