I installed tortoiseSVN and was able to do a checkout of the dirs/files that are already in the repository (I don't need to authenticate for that) When I try to commit changes I get the following error:
Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to CHECKOUT
I am never asked to enter my user/pass for authentication.
Tried googling it a bit, and found various mentions of this, but no definite answer. I talked with the people in charge of the SVN server on our campus, and they claim that everything is OK on the server side...
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

For me on Windows, the program is (visualsvn.com) and can be found in Start->Programs->VisualSVN" and choose the option "VisualSVN Manager". Left click the Users folder and right click the user to change the password. Or choose Actions->Create User.
Enter your username and password. The checkbox will make TortoiseSVN store the credentials in Subversion's default directory: %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth in three subdirectories: svn. simple contains credentials for basic authentication (username/password).
That means the Subversion status is normal. As soon as you start editing a file, the status changes to modified and the icon overlay then changes to a red exclamation mark. That way you can easily see which files were changed since you last updated your working copy and need to be committed.
Maybe TortoiseSVN uses some saved authentication data that is no longer valid?
Try deleting any saved authentication data in TortoiseSVN's the settings dialog (under "Saved Data"), then retry committing.
