Remotely connecting to the pcAnywhere thin host
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you remotely connect to a computer that is running
in the recovery environment. The computer must be running the pcAnywhere
thin host that is included in the Symantec Recovery Disk CD, and it must be waiting
for a connection. When connected, the client computer can remotely manage a
recovery or perform other tasks that are supported in Symantec Recovery Disk.
Note: The client computer cannot transfer files or add additional drivers for
network or storage devices on the computer that is running the thin host.
To remotely connect to the pcAnywhere thin host
1 Ensure that the computer to be remotely managed (the host) has started in
the recovery environment. Also, ensure that the pcAnywhere thin host is
waiting for a connection.

On the client computer, in Symantec pcAnywhere, configure a remote
connection item.
For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere User's Guide.
