If you are having issues connecting to your subversion repositories from Eclipse (May be with Subversive/Subclipse). Try the following.

Enter proxy details into Subversion configuration:

Open servers file in the following location

Window XP

C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserId\Application Data\Subversion\servers

Update following lines at the end of file

[global]
http-proxy-exceptions = yourproxy exceptions (e.g. dev.company.com.au)
http-proxy-host = yourproxyhost (e.g. proxy.company.com.au)
http-proxy-port = your proxy port (e.g. 8080)
