I am trying to establish a PCANYWHERE connection as a HOST from a companys network to a remote user (a developer) who needs to send source code and compile it on a PC for transfer to UNIX. We can do this using "Dial Up" but we want to use broadband....

I have tried this using
"dial up" -> "internet" -> "Broadband"
on my own machines but I i am having trouble with (i think) either the companys "firewall" or something (even though i have set pcanywhere as an allowed program in the group properties thingy.
HELP!!!!

1 . IP address (every occasion)
Your IP address is a unique number assigned to your computer by the Internet every
time you connect. It?s like a telephone number which you need to give FDS when you
want us to access your system.
To find your IP address open Internet Explorer and in the address bar enter:
www.whatismyip.com

Make a note of your IP address
2. Firewall ? (setup once only)
Your firewall needs to allow the connection. Depending on your firewall you will need
to configure it to allow inbound access on ports 5631 ? 5632
If you have a Netgear firewall router you need to add a new service with these
settings.
