Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile supports connections through the Symantec
pcAnywhere Gateway or Access Server. Symantec pcAnywhere Gateway facilitates
the process of finding and connecting to host computers that are behind a firewall,
router, or other Network Address Translation (NAT) device. It is included on the
Symantec pcAnywhere installation CD. The pcAnywhere Access Server is a
stand-alone server that is purchased separately.
Symantec pcAnywhere Mobile can discover the pcAnywhere Gateway computers
that are running on your subnet. When you select a Gateway, the host list updates
to display the host computers that were discovered by the Gateway. You can also
configure a connection item to automatically connect through the pcAnywhere
Gateway or Access Server.
