Tortise not connecting

Tortoise SVN is not connecting to an existing Subversion server. I do
not know how t make it connect. Here is the situation.

1. Subversion is running as a service on a Win XP box. The box has the
latest patches on it. The Subversion service is set up as \path to
executable\svnserve.exe --service -r e:\code. It starts successfully.

The e:\code directory has all of the standard Subversion repository
directories in it.

We are a 2 man shop and all development is done locally, so it was
decided that Apache was not required.

I set the authentication in the svnserf.conf file so that anon-access =
write. This should allow anyone to read and write the repository.

2. The initial code import ran successfully.

3. I can check directories out from the command line using the following
command: /svn checkout http://cpc-pounder/demo/facilitytree/

4. I have installed Tortoise on the same computer the Subversion service
is running on. I attempt to do a check out using the Explorer in
Windows. Right click and click on the SVN Checkout and get the dialog box.

For the url I use /http://cpc-pounder/demo/facilitytree/

For the checkout directory I use /e:\holder/

When I click OK I get the following errors.

profind request failed on '/demo/facilitytree,
profind of 'demo/facilitytree": could not connect to server
(http://cpc-pounder)

Also Tortoise does attach any of its status icons to the files in the
directory that the code base is stored in.

5. What am I doing wrong and do not understand?
