Not really, the normal setting is:
  :sspi:cvsserver:/repository
and no login. SSPI uses the same login as was used when logging on to
Windows in this case.

Especially in the case of localhost (which by definition you have
already logged on to) the connection string should look like this:
  :sspi:localhost:/alex
or
  :sspi:yourpcnamehere:/alex

No login needed, it is already done when startiung the Windows
session.

Did you configure the new server correctly?
Which version of CVSNT did you install, the latest one byu now is
2.5.03.2141

Did you restart the PC after installing CVSNT?

What happens if you type cvs -ver on the command prompt?
