Newbie Connection Problem :(

Hi All,

I'm new to working with Subversion, and I'm having a connection issue I
just can't solve. The network is at home, for myself, behind a router,
so I don't have tight security on all of the machines.

The network set up is:

Repository Machine: Running Suse 9.1, with eth0 configured to
192.168.1.200. Subversion 1.08. Using svnserve in inetd mode (svnserve
-i in inetd entry). config file has a password file configured according
to the book. For right now both anonymous and authenticated users have
write privileges. The realm is "alviani".

Dev machine: Running WinXP. I'm working with NetBeans 3.6, but have
temporarily
switched to using the CLI until I get the connection issues worked out.
After cd'ing to the root directory of the project:

c:\alvianisoftware\system\projects\webestimator\files

I issue the import command:

svn import --username XXX --password YYY
svn://192.168.1.200/svnroot/repos1/we/trunk -m "initial import"

(XXX and YYY are exactly as entered in the password file "userfiles",
and I'm assuming the missing parameter will import from the current
directory recursively.)

where I'd already run svnadmin in /svnroot to create /svnroot/repos1

In turn, I just get:

Can't connect to host '192.168.1.200': No connection could be made
because the target machine actively refused it.

What the heck am I doing wrong? The user that the svnserve process is
running as has full privileges on the repository tree.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Frank Alviani
