    need pcanywhere help

    I got the pcanywhere version 11.0 trial.

    It finally works ok with XP. That is now after a reboot I can connect and see the logon screen to log on. YEA !!!!

    ANyway, I have three computer behind a router. All three can connect behind the router fine.

    What I want to know is how can I come in from the outside and connect to my pcs. I am thinking I need to use the port forwarding on my router and forward the port that pcanywhere uses. But when I come in from the outside how does pcanywhere know which pc I want to connect to? Does it take the ip address my modem is on and give me list to pick from or do I have to tell it something else to get it to go in the right direction.

    If I use port forwarding do I give each pc differents ports to use?

    Oh, and can I have two computer logging in to the same host at the same time? Or is it strickly one on one.

    Tried to find the infor on symantec web site but gave up.

    Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks

    Pretty sure you can assign different ports from within pcAnywhere on each pc and then forward the ports accordingly on your router.

    Doubt that you can have more than one login per pc though.

    Forward ports 5631/TCP and 5632/UDP to the computer you want to connect to.
