Hi, Ryan:
Thanks so much for the clear answers. Just to follow up on this thread
and bring some closure:
I found out that the reason I am not able to connect is due to the
firewall setup on our network. Unfortunately, "svn+ssh" did not do the
trick either since the repository I am trying to access does not allow
anonymous read via ssh. (And I don't have an account with that project.)
I am still stuck. But at least the mystery is solved...
Thanks again for your help!
