  9. In the User name: field, enter your SVN username. This is the part of your e-mail address before the @ sign. (For example, if your e-mail address is somebody@svn.net, then your username is somebody)

  14. A dialog like the one to the right should appear. This is your connection window. Make sure that your username is filled in correctly. Note: Windows 2000 will "pad" the password field by filling it in with extra *'s. If more *'s than the number of characters in your password appear, this is normal.
