svn checkout on windows

I have installed svn console client from these binaries - http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html#windows - 1.5.6, 1.6.4, 1.6.5. But no release seems to work. Just it can't checkout from any repo (code.gjangoproject.com; code.google.com):

svn couldn't connect to server.

There is a bug on debian - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531338 with the same description.

How to solve this bug on windows?

Platform: windows-xp-sp3. SVN-client: 1.5.6, 1.6.4, 1.6.5

UPDATE: I don't want to host the svn server on WinXP, my aim is to be able to checkout from svn servers.

UPDATE2: Just installed tortoiseSVN and found the old proxy setting. Seems tortoiseSVN saves its settings to registry and doesn't remove them after deinstallation.

Make life really, really easy on yourself and just install Visual SVN Server. Fastest, easiest, free-est way of getting SVN running on Windows.

If you really can't connect to the server, then even the svn list command won't work. In that case I'd try one more tactic. From your command line, try telnet <yoursvnserver> 3690. If you get an error with that, it just might be more descriptive than "can't connect".
