Symantec pcAnywhere lets you connect to a host computer over the Internet,
provided that both the host and the remote computers have Internet access. If
the host computer has a public IP address, connecting over the Internet involves
the following process:
The host user connects to the Internet, following the instructions provided by
the Internet service provider (ISP).
In pcAnywhere, the host user starts a host session that is configured for TCP/IP.
See "Ways to start a host session"
The remote user connects to the Internet, following the instructions provided
by the ISP.
In pcAnywhere, the remote user configures a TCP/IP connection, specifying
the IP address of the host computer and the logon information.

About cable modem connections
Unlike traditional modems, which convert analog and digital signals to exchange
data over a telephone line, cable modems use Internet protocols to transmit data
over a cable television line. Because cable modems use TCP/IP to transmit data,
cable modem connections must be configured as TCP/IP network connections.
The default Network, Cable, DSL connection item in pcAnywhere is configured
for TCP/IP.

About DSL or ADSL connections
Digital subscriber lines, such as ADSL or DSL, are high-speed Internet connections
offered by an Internet service provider (ISP). Your computer operates as though
it is connected to a network and is assigned an IP address. DSL and ADSL
connections must be configured as TCP/IP network connections.
