Connecting to another computer using Quick Connect
Quick Connect lets you connect to another computer with minimum setup. You
can use this option for one-time or infrequent connections to a host computer
(for example, to connect to a host computer that has a dynamic IP address or to
support a helpdesk customer). Before you can connect, you must know the
computer name, IP address, or phone number of the host computer and the logon
information.
Figure 5-1 shows the Quick Connect window.

Connecting to a host computer on your network
If your computer is connected to a network, pcAnywhere automatically searches
the local subnet (part of the network to which your computer is connected) for
pcAnywhere hosts that are waiting for a connection. You can broaden the search
to additional subnets or narrow the search to a specific computer name or IP
address.
Symantec pcAnywhere supports UDP and LDAP searches. To search for host
computers using LDAP, your computing environment must be configured to
support directory services using an LDAP-compliant directory server.
