Answer 1

Let's add the solution as an answer, too. When you run the standalone svnserve server, you need to set up your firewall to allow traffic to port 3690 on the host machine.

Answer 2

have you tried using this - we are using it - free and easy to setup.

Answer 3

I ran into the same problem. Make sure that svnserve uses IP V4 instead of IP V6. You can do this by adding the parameter --listen-host 0.0.0.0 to the commandline of svnserve.

Answer 4

Go to a free DNS service such as DynDNS or no-ip.com and register a free domain, such as fluffybunnytail.dyndns.org. You must then download an IP-update client (both DynDNS and No-IP have their own clients). The client will then keep your IP updated on the DNS server whenever it changes. This way you can always access the SVN server via the domain name you registered (e.g. fluffybunnytail.dyndnds.org).
