Setting up svnserve as a Windows Service to work through a router.

Hi,
 
My question is this. I have the latest Subversion files. I just set up
svnserve as a windows service, and start the service. The repository that I
created is sitting on my home computer which is behind a router. As far as I
could gather from the Subversion book, the svnserve listens on port 3690 for
requests (and I’m assuming commands like svn checkout svn://IPAddress/Repos
try and connect on port 3690 too?). So I went into my router and forwarded
that port to my home computer. I’m pretty sure that’s all I should need to
do to connect from the outside world (say a work computer) to my repository
via my routers IP (the IP of my modem, which I got from HYPERLINK
"http://www.whatismyip.com/"www.whatismyip.com and I’m pretty sure it’s
right). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to connect, it gives me the error
“Connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time….”. So it’s not seeing my repository. Am I
missing something? What did I do wrong?
 
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Chris Erven
