Symantec pcAnywhere uses ports 5631 and 5632 for connections. These ports
are registered, and in most cases, you do not need to change them. Symantec
pcAnywhere uses the data port for data transmissions. It uses the status port to
wait for connections and to exchange status information.
If you change the port numbers on the host computer, all remote users who want
to connect to the host computer must also change their port settings to match.
See "Changing the default port numbers on the remote" on page 101.
Note: Some port numbers lower than 1024 are reserved for Web-based applications
and services, such as FTP and the Internet. Choosing a reserved port number
might interfere with these applications and possibly result in a loss of service.
This procedure should be performed by an experienced administrator.
