    Using pcAnywhere?

    does anyone know how to use this software? I can't for the life of me get a remote connection to work. I don't know if both the host and remote computers need to have pcAnywhere installed on them or not. I don't know what the hell is goin' on.

    HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    The PC that you want to connect to must have pcAnywhere running in a waiting mode.

    The machine you want to connect to needs to be in Host Mode. Also check the Callers tab under the properties to make sure you are allowed to connect. Check the Encryption settings on both the Host and the Remote machine for PCA and make sure they are set the same.

    If you are behind any firewalls, you need to insure that the proper ports are opened.
