Do you mean "svn status -u" ? Plain "svn status" never contacts the
repository at all.

Truly strange.
Can you telnet to the svn server? The svnserve port is 3690, and you should
get a greeting which looks like this:
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) )
and the connection should not be closed by the server until you press
Return/Enter.
