What server are you using (eg: CVSNT 2.5.04 or CVS 1.11.22)?

What server OS are you using (eg: Red Hat Linux ES v4, Windows 2003)?

What connection string are you using (eg: :pserver:user@host:/repo)?

What commands did you run on the server to create the repository?

Note: cvs, cvsnt and cvsroot are all reserved words, therefore
/usr/cvs/cvsroot is an invalid repository name.  Rename your repository
to /repo or /usr/repo.  On the server you run this to create a
repository:

  cvs 1.x:
     sudo cvs -d :local:/usr/repo init

  cvs 2.x:
     sudo cvs -d :local:/usr/myrepo init -a /usr/repo

As Guy suggested, use the command line on windows to test connecting:

  cvs -d :ssh:user@server:/usr/repo rls
