Ahhh, I remembered. I used SVNservice to install SNVserver.

It only matters in that you have to have the server name or ip address
in the url. 'localhost' is a sort of shortcut name for 'this machine'.
So if you use 'localhost' as the server name it is going to try to
contact the machine you are running on, not the real server.

Good, that's progress...you've contacted the server now and got a
response back from svnserve.

How did you install the actual Windows service (it does not get
installed through the normal install package so you must have used a
helper package of some kind)? It appears to not be pointed at your
repositories correctly. Usually, you pass the -r option with the parent
directory of where you repositories are located.
For example, 'C:\Subversion\svnserve.exe -d -r D:\Repositories' and then
you can have repositories under D:\Repositories (created with
'svnadmin.exe create D:\Repositories\Junk' or similar). Then you would
refer to that repository with a url like:
svn.exe ls svn://servername/Junk
