Geoff, Thanks for your reply. I've tried the things you've suggested and already read through the stack overflow posts you listed, but I looked at them all again.
One of the comments to the last post mentioned antivirus software, which got me thinking. Among other things I uninstalled my VPN software and boom, it works now. Apparently, it was filtering out http traffic from the svn client, even though I was connected via VPN. Weird, weird, weird, weird. Anyway, thanks. Conan.
