Thank you Ryan for your answer, I think is before the host password (is since weeks I had this problem so I will try from my office) with my home network it works fine with the host password. But it's a good question because! is the authentification the message talks about, is from the proxy or the host? I think the message is clear it says "could not authenticate to proxy server". Also I inform you that when I do not specify the proxy id and password in subversion servers config file svn hangs and when I specify it it will not hang but immediately displays the error message below.
