Re: Trouble running TortoiseSVN on Windows Server 2008

'target machine actively refused it' usually means that either the svn
service isnt running or a firewall | antiviri | viri is getting in the way.

i dont know what slicksvn is (google didnt help) but both the command line
and tsvn use the same code to talk to the server.

double check to see if there is anything that could get in the way.
