Cannot access repository remotely (sort of)

Hi there,

Forwarding this back to the list because the thread ran into a dead end.

The schankopolis IP is the WAN IP of my router. While cooper.local is
a DHCP assigned IP on my LAN. (Assigned from the router. Always the
same IP, and the LAN IP is the DMZ IP for the router. So all ports
get automatically forwarded to this PC on my LAN. Also, using the IP
address instead of the name makes no difference.

This sounds like it is the heart of the problem. However, Apache has
no problems working this way. Nor does FTP, SSH or any other listener
I have (that I know of), Is there some way I can make svnserve work
in this network configuration?

Thanks
