I set up the perforce server on an old constantly running laptop, which is always assigned a reserved address by the router. I have an account at no-ip.com, which sends to my router, which in turn redirects requests to port 1666 to this laptop.
when I try to install p4port to this no-ip.org address, this part is fine, but when I run p4d, I get:
Perforce server error: Listen to USERNAME.no-ip.org:1666 failed. Failed to listen to TCP at USERNAME.no-ip.org:1666. bind: USERNAME.no-ip.org:1666: WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL
While if I just installed p4port in 192.168.0.6, I can access the server from behind the network using this ... but I could also access it from the outside.
I read another post in which someone was working with the same setting (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2397642/online-perforce-repositories, the user was gaminghorror), but he didnβt have like me, obviously needed.
tried with the router and windows xp firewall, and the xp and router firewalls switched to 1666 on this local ip
Hooray!
