[p4] (2) Problems with P4WEB

[Andres Fuentes]

Thanks Lee,

Because we had dns problems sometimes I was working with Ip's .

The p4web is in the same machine as p4d...In this server the client p4 (linux) doesn't work, to use client commands I use other windows machine (?) . 

I was trying all posibilities what I know...and, after a restart of Perforce server (p4d) with differents arguments the P4WEB runs fine (? I don't known why)


Regards,


Andrés

If the firewall is off and windows clients connect, seems like a DNS issue

Does the windows client work with   P4PORT=10.10.10.190:1666  ?

Is p4web on the same machine as p4d?  If not you need to trace the
problem,  e.g  try running a command line client on the p4web machine
and/or moving the client closer to the server until you find the problem.

Work with IP addresses first,  when  that works, you can switch back
to DNS.  Again,   this is standard TCP/IP debugging, not really related
to Perforce. Perhaps asking your network admin to help if your not
strong in networking ?
