troubleshoot, troubleshoot, troubleshoot.
cvs uses ssh as its transport, so can you ssh into/out of the box?
can you ssh to your ssh repository?

  $ ssh anoncvs@anoncvs..org

should return something semi-interesting.
  $ telnet anoncvs.whatever.org 22

should also try to work.
Almost certainly, however, you are doing something incorrect.  You have

provided a diagnosis, not a set of symptoms, so I can't say much else

other than I doubt your diagnosis, as I've done it, it works.  Most

likely, it is not at all VMware related (unless your vmware networking

is screwed up), but rather something like filtering or even incorrect

CVS usage messing you up.
