Using svn:// to access repository instead of file:///

I'm just an average joe trying to get SVN up and running on our small office's server.

We had it set up and running successfully for a year until our old server died. I

reinstalled SVN on the server. svnserve is running on that server. Our new server

is partitioned. I created the repos on the D drive and reconstructed our original

repository structure. Previously, we would access the repository from our desktop

computers this way:

svn://theserver/ESS/trunk/

But, I must have done something differently, because now we all have to access

the repos this way:

file:///\10.11.12.10/data/repos/ESS/trunk/

Our new server is called 10.11.12.10 and the D drive is called 'data' - if that has

any effect.

This may not be a big deal, but I'm concerened that it may have something to do

with why I can't get authentication to work. I have edited the repos/conf/passwd

file and the repos/conf/svnserve.conf files in the same way as they were edited on

our previous server. I have also edited the svnserve.conf files in the individual

repositories. They worked fine on the old server, now I can't get authentication

to work at all. Any ideas? I'm not a network person - I apologize - but please

write any responses in laymen terms. THANKS!
