As Doug said, he uses the Subversion daemon which use port 3690. This is why I advocate using Subversion with the dav module in Apache because all your requests are over http and port 80 instead of the svn:// protocol. You could also use svn+ssh if you have ssh infrastructure in place, but this causes a bit of a problem for Windows users since Windows does not ship with an ssh client (BTW, Putty is an excellent choice if you are in need of a ssh client for Windows and it integrates with TortoiseSVN as well). Anyways, svn+ssh requires a few extra bits of configuration and isn't a great solution for anon repository access (like here with Reactor). In the end, if you want a robust solution (such as integration with LDAP, Windows domain or plain old basic http authentication/authorization) -- Apache + Subversion is the way to go. Also, you won't have to open up as many ports on your firewall if you run Apache on a standard port (something your net admin would probably will thank you for).
The only thing I can think of is to use a proxy server which can be setup in the Tortoise settings (right-click -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> click on Network in the left column). Doug, you might consider running the svn daemon on an alternate http port like 8080, 81, or 8090. However, then you have to make sure that people access the repo with that port. Invoke that option by using the the --listen-port= option when running the daemon (the daemon defaults to 3690 without it). Although the changes are slim that some firewall may block those options as well. Ok, I'm done evangelizing Subversion. Best, .Peter -- Peter J.
