Hi Pavel. I installed an IP traffic listener and confirmed that AnkhSVN isn't even * attempting* to reach out to VisualSVN. I still don't know why, and I still don't know why it *did* work at one point before. ...And I still don't know why nobody else has this problem!
The steps taken between AnkhSVN (on the server, not elsewhere) working and not working were (1) uninstall VisualSVN, (2) install VisualSVN. I didn't do anything between then because at the time I just wanted to change the repository (following bad advice from StackOverflow). The OP states the firewalls and McAfee were turned off to no effect. Clearing the auth cache would be an interesting try. I didn't think of that. However, I've since uninstalled AnkhSVN and installed TortiseSVN and VisualSVN client. All is working fine under this setup. Thank you for your help, Pavel! -- Eric On Wednesday, August 14, 2013 11:00:38 AM UTC-4, Eric wrote: > > Hey. Nobody on the entire Internet seems to have my (very simple) > problem.
