title: SVN setup... Unable to connect to a repository but can ping host
body: <p>I have a svn server I'm setting up for a project. I've installed SVN, gotten it up and running with a new SVN user, made user/password combos in the passwrd file and made it available in svnserve.conf. I created a repositories folder in my SVN user folder, and "svnserve -d -r /home/svn/repositories". I make a folder in the repository for my current project...</p>
  
  <p>So I have</p>
  
  <pre><code>/home/svn/repositories/my_new_project
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run netstat -lntp on my server</p>
  
  <pre><code>Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address     Foreign Address State  
  PID/Program name
  tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3690      0.0.0.0:*       LISTEN 
  24405/svnserve
  ...etc...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, hopping off the server, and hopping on my client machine,  to check the server is up, I </p>
  
  <pre><code>ping my_network_server_name_here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Pinging my_network_server_name_here [1.2.3.4] with 32 bytes of data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Reply from [1.2.3.4]: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=62
  Reply from [1.2.3.4]: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=62
  Reply from [1.2.3.4]: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=62
  Reply from [1.2.3.4]: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=62
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I get a nice ping rate, so I know the server is accessible.
  I have tortoiseSVN installed. I right-click on the folder I want to add to the repository, hit import, and send it to</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn://my_network_server_name_here:3690/my_new_project
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The response I get is...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to connect to a repository at URL
  svn://my_network_server_name_here/my_new_project
  Can't connect to host 'my_network_server_name': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because the connected host has failed to respond.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is... where have I screwed up?</p>
