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.

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...

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.
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
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.
