G'day,

I only installed Tortoise SVN a few days ago so I m very green but I
cannot find an answer to this question in the help files or on the
FAQ.

My developers are in a different location to me so they connect
throught to the code base via an IP address. My question is, if my
own IP changes how do I have my external developers change where their
repository is pointing to? I need to know this as my IP (where the
repository is located) is not static.

Cheers,
Brendan

If your IP address changes, they will need to Relocate their WCs to
point at the new IP.

Better to run a Subversion server on a "server" machine with a static IP.

Or use a DynDNS-service like no-ip.com to get a fixed domain name for
your changing IP address; that would also spare you the trouble of
communicating the new IP address to all your other users...

Does you machine not have a host name on the network that they could
access it with?

G'day,

Bob,
My Machine has a host name but only if they worked from my office
internally. I am in Vancouver and they are in Toronto!

I am now looking into Kurts reply regarding the "no-ip.com" approach
which sound very interesting and will probably be a good solution.
Thanks Kurt and everyone else for answering the post,

As I have only started with SVN I will have them check in all the code
whilst the Ip is still the same then swith to the "no-ip.com"
approach... after I look into it a bit more

Thanks again everyone for the very prompt responses

G'day Kurt,

This seems like a good approach but I'm having some difficulties
getting it to work with SVN...

For instance if I enter "xxxxx.no-ip.biz/svn/xxxxx/head/" I get an
error from SVN
- "Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in
response to"
- "PROPFIND request for '/svn/xxxxx/head'"

However if I ebter the actual static Ip it works as "http://x.x.x.x:
8080/svn/xxxxx/head/"

Sorry but assume all the "x"'s are either my Ip or valid
informaiton. I only do this for security reason on this site!


So any ideas why SV can be access with th eIP and not the no-ip.com
site address?

What does xxxxx.no-ip.biz:8080/svn/xxxxx/head/ give you (notice the
added port number)?

Because you entered the port number with the IP address but not
with the no-ip domain name. Use xxxx.no-ip.biz:8080/svn/etc.
