First, make sure that your server is listening on port 2401:
If it is not, you will get a connection refused error. 
To do this, you must have xinetd running, and you can add a section 
into /etc/xinetd.d:
service cvspserver
{
        socket_type         = stream
        protocol            = tcp
        wait                = no
        user                = root
        passenv             =
        server              = /usr/bin/cvs
        server_args         = --allow-root=<path to cvs root> pserver -f
}
And call this cvspserver.
