I'm trying to setup my home server with a Subversion repo on it (after some changes).

I uninstalled-reinstalled VisualSVN Server on the Windows Server 2003 server box and the address (i.e. URL) to the repo is https://server.network.local/svn/.

I can browse via IE to that address, and get the repository list (I do have to click past the certificate error though), but when I point tortoise to it as well, I get 

OPTIONS of 'https://server.network.local/svn': Could not resolve hostname
'server.network.local': No such host is known.
(https://server.network.local)

I can ping and tracert to the server no problem though, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

I had the same problem, as far as I can tell you can’t go straight to the SVN folder you need to include a repository file name in the path example:

https://server.network.local:8443/svn/MyNewRepository

Hope that helps
