Hi,
regarding your firewall issue. Once upon a time port 4691 was blocked on
my internet connection, too (I am connected through a community-operated
public wireless meshnetwork called Freifunk).
Thanksfully I have SSH access to a box ('peking') at my university.
First I created a SSH tunnel:
ssh -L4691:org.openembedded.dev:4691 peking -N
and then led all traffic go to through it:
mtn --db OE.mtn pull localhost org.openembedded.dev
Worked like a charm. :)
If outgoing ssh is blocked by the companies' firewall you should ask
them to open it though.
Regards
Robert

I got everything down, finally got everything built (well, so far), including git, svn, mtn, boost, (1.33.1), bb, and a whole host of other packages. My poor little box has been compiling its little brains out. I think I have everything in place.

I downloaded the mtn 0.36 OE snapshot, but when I try to do the first "mtn pull" against monotone.openembedded.org, the connection hangs. It also hangs against the other servers that have been mentioned. I think this is due to our company's draconian firewall policy.
