About the Connection Wizard
What you need to know before you connect
The Connection Wizard simplifies the process of configuring your computer for
a pcAnywhere connection. After you complete the steps in the Connection Wizard,
you can start the connection.
The Connection Wizard lets you do the following:
Configure your computer to connect to another computer (remote connection)
See
" Using the Connection Wizard to configure a remote connection"
Configure your computer to allow another computer to connect to it (host
connection)
See
" Using the Connection Wizard to configure a host connection"
The options that you select in the Connection Wizard are saved in a connection
item file, which you can modify. Symantec pcAnywhere adds the connection item
to the Hosts or Remotes window, depending on the type of connection. Symantec
pcAnywhere offers advanced configuration options, such as security settings,
that are not available in the wizard.
See
"Configuring a remote connection using advanced properties"
Before you can connect to another computer using pcAnywhere, you must provide
the information that is needed to find the host computer, establish a connection,
and log on.
Some of this information varies by connection type and might include the
following:
Network connections
Modem and ISDN
connections
Direct connections
Symantec pcAnywhere requires a user name and password for all sessions. The
host user must set up a caller account and provide you with these logon credentials.
IP address or computer name of the pcAnywhere host
computer, Gateway, or Access Server to which you want to
connect.
If you are connecting over a local area network (LAN),
pcAnywhere automatically searches for the pcAnywhere hosts
that are running on your local subnet.
Dialing information, such as the modem phone number and
any additional dialing properties that might be required.
COM or LPT port number of the two computers that you want
to connect.
