title: Cannot connect to svn server (svnserve)
body: <p>I've set up using many tutorials from the web a repository and svnserve on my mac.</p>
  
  <p>But I cannot access it from the internet.</p>
  
  <p>If I call the following command everything works alright:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co svn://192.168.1.10 /working_copy/myproject --username me
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And If I call the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co svn://my_external_ip /working_copy/myproject --username me
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a error: Can't connect to host 'my_external_ip': Connection refused</p>
  
  <p>Of course instead of my_external_ip I type in my external ip address that I got from whatismyip.com</p>
  
  <p>I've set up port forwarding on my router for port 3690 to my local ip - 192.168.1.10</p>
  
  <p>svnserve is running. I launched it with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svnserve -d
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to check if port 3690 is open using <a href="http://www.canyouseeme.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.canyouseeme.org/</a> and it says that the port is open.</p>
  
  <p>What may be the problem? I'm trying to figure it out for the whole day and can't find the cause.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
