Not that I'm aware of.  I'll talk around here to see if anyone has ever gotten
ssh working.  (I know I haven't before.)

Thanks for the info...

Cheers,
Richard

You probably are :)  Perforce doesn't use a HTTP protocol so the proxy
probably won't work.

Any chance that you could ssh to another machine that has access?

Something like:

ssh -L 1666:p4.lpi.org:1666 otherhost

would work.  Then you just set the P4PORT (or equiv in the GUIs) to
localhost:1666.


Otherwise, you can just work without talking to Perforce and 'catch up'
later.  Instead of writing out the gory details, read this tech note on
working remotely:
