I read through the doc but I still have problems setting up SVN+Tortoise on Windows.

We have about 5 PCs connected through a LAN, all running Win XP pro.
We need to setup one of them as a SVN server to check-in/out work through the LAN using login/password to access separate projects.

I can access files locally and through the LAN with the file:// command but without any password protection which is a big problem.
When I try using svn:// on the server machine, the login/password are not recognized and if I try to connect through the LAN the browser freeze for ~10+sec and I get this error:
Error * Can't connect to host 'John': A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Any idea why ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Still stuck with this svn:// ... :shrug:
I'm even more confused about it now, can svn:// be used through a LAN or does it need to go through the WAN ? Do I need to have a fixed IP and port forwarding on 3690 to use it in LAN ?
Also, is 3690 the default port or should I specify it in the Window service creation ?
I've used this to create mine
C:\> sc create svn
binpath= "\"C:\program files\svn\bin\svnserve.exe\" --service -r C:\repos"
displayname= "Subversion Server"
depend= Tcpip
start= auto
I know file:// is used to access local files but what is the easiest way to have log/pass functionalities on top of that ?
Thx for your help :sad:
