Does anyone have any idea how to configure the Cisco IOS firewall to allow pcanywhere connections. I am having some difficulty getting it to work. I would be able to define 3 ip addresses that can connect through the firewall and block all other connection attempts

Make sure you are enabling tcp port 5631 and udp port 5632 through your firewall. The access list should look something like this:

access-list 101 permit tcp 5631
access-list 101 permit udp 5632

Apply the access list to the interface inbound:

(in interface mode)
ip access-group 101 in

Be careful allowing pcanywhere into your LAN, and make sure that the rules are as specific as possible since it gives complete control to whoever attaches to your machine.

Hope that helps,
