To use Perforce, you must supply your client program with the address and port of the Perforce server to which you want to connect.

Before you begin This chapter assumes that your system administrator has already installed and configured a Perforce server (p4d) for

you, and that the server is up and running. If this is not the case (for instance, if you're installing Perforce for the first time), you must install the Perforce server before continuing. For an overview of how to set up a server, see "Installing Perforce" on page143. The installation information in this manual is intended to help you install a server for evaluation purposes. If you're installing a production server, or are planning on extensive testing of your evaluation server, read the full installation instructions in the System Administrator's Guide. Setting up your environment to use Perforce In order to connect to a Perforce server, you must supply your Perforce client program with two pieces of information: the name of the host on which p4d is running, and the port on which p4d is listening To connect to a Perforce server, specify the host and port number by setting the P4PORT environment variable to host:port, where host is the name of the host on which the p4d server is running, and port is the port on which the p4d server is listening. For example: If the server is running on... and is listening to port...

Perforce client. It sends the users' requests to the p4d server program for processing, and communicates with p4d via TCP/IP. Each Perforce client program needs to know the address and port of the Perforce server with which it https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/manuals/p4guide/02_connect.html communicates. This address is stored in the P4PORT environment variable. Before you begin This chapter assumes that your system administrator has already set up a Perforce server (p4d) for you, and that it is already up and running. If this is not the case (for instance, if you're installing Perforce from scratch), you'll also have to install the Perforce server before continuing. See the appendix, "Installing Perforce" on page129, for information on how to install the server. The information https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.021/manuals/p4guide/02_connect.html in the appendix is intended to help you install a server for evaluation purposes. If you're installing a production server, or are planning on extensive testing of your evaluation server, we strongly encourage you to read the full installation instructions in the Perforce System Administrator's Guide. Setting up your environment to use Perforce A Perforce client program needs to know two things in order to talk to a Perforce server: the name of the host on which p4d is running, and the port on which p4d is listening These are set via a single environment variable, P4PORT. Note See "Setting and viewing environment variables" on page136 for information about how to set environment variables for most operating systems and shells. If your site is already using Perforce, it's possible that your system administrator has already set P4PORT for you; if not, you'll need to set it yourself. Either way, after setting P4PORT to point to your server, you should verify your client's connection to the Perforce server with the p4 info command. Telling Perforce clients where the server is To use Perforce, you'll need to know the name of the host where p4d is located, and the number of the TCP/IP port on which it's listening. If you've just installed the Perforce server yourself, you already know this, having configured the server on a specific host to listen to a specific port. If you'r

I have a perforce server and an external client. Steps I've taken: 1. Opened port 1666 on my router (TCP and UDP) for my servers IP. 2. Allowed port 1666 through windows firewall. 3. I can connect to connect to server the perforce server from any system on the LAN by hostname or IP. 4. NETSTAT -a shows port 1666 is LISTENING. 5. External client can ping the server by external IP. 6. Internal client can telnet to the internal IP and port, external cannot. I can not for the life of me figure out why the hell my external client cannot connect to the server. I am getting my external IP from "WhatsMyIP.org" and it matches my routers WAN address. I have full on tried to disable windows firewall and still the same issue. Please god someone help before I lose the rest of my hair. EDIT1: I forgot to mention the error I am receiving from the external client: Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
