Subversion: target machine actively refused it

neutcomp

Hello I have installed subversion on my gentoo machine.
Thats all working fine but when I want to connect(SVN Checkout) to a project with my windows XP machine(intranet)
where I have installed TorToirseSVN I get this error message:

Can't connect to host '10.0.0.25': No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

Can someone tell me whats wrong? And even bether how to fix this problem?
Thanxx
Bjorn

It looks like I have to change something so users can connect with my gentoo machine but how?

Please check if this bug and his workaround is of any relevance:subversion... and incorrect svnserve in /etc/xinetd.d directory

Oeps ...

How stupid can you be:

1) forgot to start svn
cd /etc/init.d/svnserve start

2) Create the project in the wrong directory
cd /var/svn/ (This is the place to be)
svnadmin create mynewprojectname

Good luck everyone...now getting samba into work
