My container and VM running on boot2docker is unable to connect to a repository

I have a Jenkins container running inside my boot2docker on a Windows 7 machine. I am configuring a build job in my Jenkins for which I need to connect to a SVN repository but I get a ‘Data host unreachable error’ from inside my container and the Virtual Machine. I can access the internet from inside my container but just can’t connect to the repository. Also,the repository is otherwise accessible from the command line on my local machine. I am just starting out trying to learn more about Docker technology. Can someone please guide me so that I could solve this issue?

It is solved! I added an entry specifying the gateway to be used for connecting to the repository.
