Hopefully someone with Windows expertise will jump in here, but just to make sure: c:\svnrepos is your repository?

Dan:  OK I just unistalled everything (again) and only reinstalled tortoise and the most recent Subversion (CollabNet).  I made c://svnrepos the repository, the port 3690, and the host "localhost." Also, the installer allows me to tell svnserve to run as a service under these parameters, which I said yes to.

Now I am able to see the repository through the file:/// protocol AND the svn://localhost protocol when I am actually on the computer hosting the repository.  So the server must be working.  However, the hitch is I still can't connect from another computer using the IP address and the port.

The port isn't the problem, because I am not being actively denied access.  The connection fails, it seems, simply because my host computer is not responding in a timely manner.  So yes the repository is there and yes svnserve is running.  Yes I can access it locally, through both the file and svn protocols.  But no, I cannot access it remotely.
