That's very strange. Does it consistently fail, or was that a one-off error?

Now i tried it also at home - and it works. Probably there is a configuration issue in my company network. Does Tortoise or Subclipe uses an other Port or Protokoll than Firefox or IE, because there i can connect to the repository… strange things happen here.

Thanks for helping!

I believe SVN uses TCP port 3690 by default.

If you're using the HTTP protocol (as shown in your original URL), SVN uses the standard HTTP port (port 80) and speaks standard HTTP protocols (WebDAV + DeltaV). As Mike mentioned, SVN also has a native protocol (identified by URLs starting with "svn:") that uses port 3690 (which is quite commonly blocked by corporate firewalls etc.).
