It seems that your company's firewall is blocking CVS connections.
This is common, as default configurations typically block everything
except for a few commonly used services (like HTTP, FTP, etc).
You could ask your firewall administrator to enable outgoing connections
on port 2401. If he or she is paranoid, you could ask for a more
restricted hole: allow outgoing connections on port 2401 only to
gcc.gnu.org and possibly to other well-known sites.
