Just a quick drive-by shot: take a look at networking components
between client and server (firewalls, proxies, ...). My prime suspect
would be a proxy (or proxy settings). Some proxies don't interoperate
well with svn (more particularly, some proxies have trouble with some
of the WebDAV methods that svn uses).

If there's no proxy and no firewall involved, I have no idea ...

Cheers,
