Perforce Help Needed

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I do have two machines. I was simply following the perforce tutorial which sets up the client and server on one machine.

So, I’ve installed the Server and client on my second machine and the client only on my workstation. When i open up P4V on my workstation and try to connect to the server i just get this

Operation cancelled by user.
Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
TCP connect to 192.168.0.20:1666 failed.
connect: 192.168.0.20:1666: WSAETIMEDOUT

I can’t find any specific enough guides on how to set this up anywhere.

I’d like to have it set up on a local machine because its free and secure, and the machine in question is on 24/7.

I suspect its an issue of either port blocking or port forwarding.

1. Check your Router Port forwarding Settings. Add forwarding for Port 1666.
2. Check your Server Firewall Port Blocking Settings. Allow connections to Port 1666…
