Cannot connect to repo with TortoiseSVN

I've been running a project for some months now using the same TortoiseSVN repository without much hassle, until now.

I need to add another box to the project but it seems to be impossible for TSVN to connect to the repository. This is the stuff I've discovered or tried out:

I have two client boxes: the "old" one and the "new" one...

  1. Setting up and checking out a second folder on the "old" box works fine.
  2. Browsing to the repo via Chrome/IE on the "new" box also works fine.
  3. The browsers on my "new" box does not use a proxy (the same goes for the "old" box).
  4. I am running TSVN 1.7.4, Build 22459 - 64 Bit on both boxes

  5. When I attempt to connect to the repo from the "new" box using repo browser or checking out to a new folder I get this error message:

    Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://(ip-address omitted)/usvn/svn/(project omitted)' OPTIONS of 'https://(ip-address omitted)/usvn/svn/(project omitted)': could not connect to server (ip-address omitted)

  6. I have compared all TSVN settings between the "new" and "old" boxes and they all appear to match

  7. According to the people running the server there's no certificates in use
  8. The Windows firewall on the "new" box is down
  9. I'm running both "old" and "new" box from the same network. The "old" is connected via WIFI however whereas the "new" one is on wire.

I'm at my wits end on what to check so any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • You need to determine whether this is a problem with TortoiseSVN, your Subversion repository, or your network connection.
