Adding subnet addresses to a host search on your mobile device
Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile can search for the host computers that are running
on your local subnet (part of the network to which your device is attached). You
can expand this search to include multiple subnets. When you add a subnet address,
the results of the host discovery list are automatically available to all new and
existing connection items.
Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile searches for pcAnywhere hosts that are waiting
on the standard data port (5631). If a host is configured to use a different port,
you must include the port number in the connection item on your device.
See “Specifying the host ports for mobile connections” on page 290.

address.
