correct is http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk if you do a java -version what do you get? should be 1.5 or better you can leave the address at 0.0.0.0 and it will work. running both trunk and branch on an XP home computer. I just copy, edit and paste the start line from startofbiz.bat I take and added the path to the front of the /java you can hard code it into the bat file if you want.
helps if you attach the log file so we can see what is happening.
