I Think I Found A Bug (NetBios Name Resolution)

Dear Developer

I think there Is A Bug In resolving The NetBios Names In tortoise SVN :

I Have Setup A DialIn Connection For My SVN Server (That Does Not Have DNS
Or Active Directory)

When I Use a Client That Connected To Svn Server By Using the Dialup
Connection (Or Vpn) I Have Problem To Checkout and Update.

The Cause Of Problem Is :

1- My Server Has Its Own IP address On The Lan (That I Use it To Create
A VPN Connection Like 172.20.20.129)

2- My Server assign a new IP Address For Incoming Calls (and also it
has new IP Address For Itself Like 172.20.20.200)

3- So There are two IP addresses For One server

4- When I Use "nbtstat -c" On the Client I See To Entries For MyServer
As Below

      Name Type Host Address Life [sec]

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  MYSERVER <00> UNIQUE 172.20.20.129

  MYSERVER <20> UNIQUE 172.20.20.200

5- And When The Tortoise svn want to connect to server
(svn://Myserver/Source )Use The First IP address That Is Unavailable
(172.20.20.129)

I Found That By Using netstat -nbvo (that shows there is one Sync_sent From
tortoise Process to 172.20.20.129 IP address)

I use Windows Browser To Open //Myserver and I Found That I Uses The second
Ip Address 172.20.20.200

I tortoise svn will be more powerful if Try to Connect To The server by
testing all entries that find them from DNS resolving or net bios name
resolution.

Note : These Problem is same for dialin connection with modem and VPN.

Best regards
