Cannot connect to remote repo using svn or tortoisesvn

I'm on a MacBook running 10.7 with little snitch with parallels 7 and a windows 7 ultimate VM with a bridged network connection and eset smart security 4, windows firewall is disabled.

I'm trying to checkout an existing repository that I have verified the connection to in firefox as well as an svn client (phpstorm) on the host, as well as on tortoisesvn on another VMware based virtual machine.

Below is the problem I encounter when I try:
C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin>svn info http://[email protected]/svn
svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://[email protected]/svn'
svn: E175002: OPTIONS of 'http://[email protected]/svn': Could not resolve hostname `http://[email protected]/svn': The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.

Using the phpstorm client is not an option because it doesn't support svn version 1.7 yet

Have you tried to do an nslookup servername ? it looks you have a network problem. – khmarbaise
@khmarbaise i was able to ping it, and I was also able to run svn commands from the mac host. I think its a problem with running SVN through parallels – ton.yeung
Have you configured the NAT in parallels ? – khmarbaise
@khmarbaise I'm running bridged. My guest is connected directly to the router. – ton.yeung

Normally you use the svn:// protocol not the http:// protocol to access subversion repositories: perhaps this is the problem?

Could not resolve hostname - you can't resolve hostname of guest on host OS

Have you tried to use the Shared network? I found it to be the best option in my MacBook & Parallels. I can also access our VPN network from Windows 7 without a problem. We use PPTP and I have configured PPTP to direct all traffic via it, when it is open. Our SVN is only available via PPTP/HTTPS.
