P4PORT for the server tells it what interface to listen on; if you run p4d with
P4PORT=1666 it's available via that port on all network interfaces.

The fact that you got that error when setting p4d's P4PORT to the public IP
makes me suspect that's not the right IP.  Try
"ipconfig"?

When you set the client's P4PORT, you're telling it where the server
is.  If you run a client command like "p4 info" with
P4PORT=1666 it looks on localhost (i.e. the same machine), so this won't
work for anyone who's not logged into the machine where the server is
running.
