Hi,

Maybe this is an idea:

1. the output

------------- [gkondal at Cobra gkondal]$ Address 127.0.0.1 maps to gkondal-lt, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT! -------------------

states, that you try to login from localhost (127.0.0.1), which can be mapped to gkondal-lt. Okay. I guess gkondal-lt also has a "real"-IP-address, hasn't it? Try to use this one - I'm afraid I don't know where localhost comes from in your settings. I think it's quite common that a dns-name isn't resolved to 127.0.0.1 but to the "real" IP-address.

2. To test whether a request reaches the server or the firewall or something in between you can use a IP-sniffer. You can set a filter for the Perforce-Server-Port (1666 I guess).

Hope this helps...

Regards

Christian

I retested from a diff machine..

Now the ssh client is not reporting anything ..and p4 win comes up.but without no users/files/clients/ .. & if i give(either from gui) or from cmd line - "p4 info"

All fields empty .. svr addr/svr root/etc..

I tried to set P4USER/P4CLIENT to a specific value in the client machine to start with even then on using "p4 info" .. every field comes empty..

Is there any guess ? why ?

Is there any way we can test whether our request is reaching p4 server or the firewall etc, ie) trace the request sent.

Rgds, Ganesh
