Try using a new version of the JDBC driver. Usually the driver that came with 8.1.7 is much better than the older

Note also, that I had a lot of trouble connecting to a CVS server from Win clients, while Linux clients didn't have any trobule. Then we discovered that the problem was a router between the CVS server and the rest of the network, and this make me think that Windows' TCP/IP stack has some trouble...
