It would be nice if you had given us these details the first time. :-)
Plink doesn't work, I'm told. Is 'ssh' in your %PATH%? Show us the
value of %SVN_SSH%

It's not difficult to connect to the server. Please don't judge
subversion badly because one particular method doesn't automatically
work on windows with zero effort. You've chosen the most complex method
of connecting, on the one operating system where it's hardest to get it
working right.
svn+ssh:// is only one of four ways to connect to a server: you can use
http://, https://, or just plain old svn://. And none of those methods
require using an external program like 'ssh'.
