SVN server running on Windows Vista on a home network, accessing Mac OS X

I have SVN running in my main development window on my home network. I am accessing the server from different development laptops depending on what I am doing. I also do this with a Mac OS X development laptop, but I apparently have to use the IP of the SVN server.

This causes problems as the IP address of the SVN server changes. On my windows machines, I can access the SVN via the server name.

Is it possible for me to do something like this from my Mac? Or maybe some kind of configuration so I can "tune" my mac to the name of the IP address? (Hosts file perhaps?)

Thanks everyone!

Regards,
Frank

Update . I am accessing my SVN repository on my Mac using ZigVersion . I am using the following url: http: // Frank@192.168.1.7 / svn / RepositoryName /

Update 2 . Although Chris gave a good answer (I understand), I was hoping for something more elegant. If you think this is the best method, please call back by voting. I'm looking for other ideas, but also community input on how this can be done.

Also, if possible, post this on ServerFault tell me how to do it.

I have my router set up to give my server the same IP address so I don't face this issue. If I were you, I would just set a static IP address either through Windows or through your router.

It looks like your Windows machine is using a special method of passing its Windows NetBIOS name. OS X is trying to find a DNS name. Your DNS system needs to be fixed to allow the DHCP server to assign hostnames.
