title: PyPi Server firewall and port settings
body: <p>I am running <a href="http://doc.devpi.net/latest/" rel="nofollow">devpi-server</a> on a host to host some python packages on. On my laptop, I can download them using <code>pip install --index &lt;hostname&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>On another host though, running the same shows me a Package Not Found error. It seems like it is not finding the package in devpi-server host, and it is falling back to the global PyPi server.</p>
  
  <p>I think that this is a firewall or port issue. What kind of firewall/ACL access permissions do I need for the host to see my PyPi server hosted by devpi-server? devpi-server is running on port 4040, and so I have port 4040 open.</p>
  
  <p>I have attempted to put in a ticket in the devpi-server project but I've been going back and forth with the maintainer for a week and he doesn't seem to understand what the question is so I am hoping someone here can assist me.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>:
  Using devpi-client, I can install the packages properly. What is different with pip install --index? Does it need any specific ports open or certain permissions set up?</p>
