Maybe the problem is solved already, since it's been a while (I'm catching up with some mailinglist backlog). But if not: I'd check out proxy settings, proxy server, ...
As opposed to the "ping subversion", the "svn ls http://subversion" might go via a proxy server (which then has to do the hostname resolving itself). As for pulling up a web browser: that might have different proxy settings (excludes, ...), so maybe it is not affected.
To eliminate possible causes, you could also try a wget or curl of http://subversion/dev from the command line, to see if it can resolve the hostname ...
