password setup issue

I'm 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/
<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!
