Changing the default port numbers on the remote
Symantec pcAnywhere uses ports 5631 and 5632 for connections. These ports
are registered and, in most cases, you do not need to change them. If you are
connecting to a host computer that uses custom port numbers, you must configure
the custom port numbers in the remote connection item. The data port is used
for data transmissions. Symantec pcAnywhere uses the status port to wait for
connections and exchange status information.
Note: Some port numbers lower than 1024 are reserved for Web-based applications
and services, such as FTP and the Internet. Choosing a reserved port number
might interfere with these applications and possibly result in loss of service. This
procedure should be performed by an experienced administrator.
