Using the Connection Wizard to configure a remote connection
The Connection Wizard guides you through the process of configuring your
computer (the remote computer) to connect to another computer (the host
computer). After the Connection Wizard finishes, you can start a remote control
session.
Symantec pcAnywhere stores this connection information in a remote connection
file. It places the remote connection item in the Remotes window. You can use
this connection item to begin a remote session or to modify the connection settings.
See “Starting a remote connection item” on page 113.
Symantec pcAnywhere offers some advanced configuration options, such as
session encryption, that are not available in the wizard.
See “Configuring a remote connection using advanced properties” on page 96.
