I am trying to use it, yes. But the server's data drives (although
mapped) are not local to the server (on our actual dev environment,
where I am at the moment (sandbox server) it's all one machine, but I
can't even get it working here!)

This was my gut feel, just looking for some confirmation :).

I can use file:// successfully across the network too
(file://IP.Address/folder). This runs the hook script on my pc, not
my sandbox server. Will this not be a problem when I get svn:/// to
work?

I have no choice, unfortunately. Because it's a web project (or more
accurately collection of projects) - and management won't let us run
IIS on our local machines, we need to put the changes on the dev
server to see the result. So there will be people doing HTML/design
work, then I'll pick it up and do the ASP bits, then give it back for
them to neaten up the look and feel again. Conflicts and/or
"who-broke-what" situations aren't a big problem, but the environment
does need to be kept up to date. This is why we want Subversion, so
at least I can say "no, you've deleted all my code" and roll-back,
rather than having to do it all again.

No good... there's no software firewall running (and I'm trying to
connect from the local machine as well as from my PC, and neither
works).
Anybody else have any ideas? And for that matter, how to get svnserve
to run on the right port?
