Configuring a host network connection
Symantec pcAnywhere supports network connections over a LAN, WAN, or the
Internet using TCP/IP, NetBIOS, and SPX. For most network connections, use
TCP/IP. NetBIOS is another commonly used network protocol that is used mostly
for file and print sharing services. SPX is a Novell NetWare protocol.
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all host sessions.
To connect, the remote user must know the user name and password as well as
the IP address or name of the host computer.
If the host computer is connected to a network that is behind a firewall, the remote
user must have a way to connect to the network through a Remote Access Service
(RAS) or virtual private network (VPN). This information must be provided by an
administrator.
To configure a host network connection
1 In Advanced View, on the left navigation bar, under pcAnywhere Manager,
