Can you tell me what port PCAnywhere 9.2 uses across the internet. I need to open up my router but don't know what port to open for PCAnywhere to get through

By default (compatibility on), pcAnywhere will try to query on port 5632. If there is no resonse on that port, pcAnywhere will query port 22. If there is no response
there, pcAnywhere will scan for a response on any available port. Similarly, pcAnywhere will try to connect on port 5631. Failing that, it will try to connect on port
65301. Failing that, pcAnywhere will connect to any host responding on any port.

If compatibility is set to Off, then pcAnywhere will only open or query the registered ports (5631, 5632).
Value:
TCPIPDataPort
Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:
DWORD
Settings:
15FF (Hex) = Registered Port [DEFAULT] FF15 (Hex) = Unregistered port used by earlier versions
Versions:
7.52, 8.0, 9.0 (registered port)
7.51, 7.5, 7.0 (unregistered port)
Apply at:
Remote, Host

Selects which TCP data port pcANYWHERE32 uses.
Version 7.52 remotes always use the value in this registry entry.
Version 8.0 remotes only use this entry if the TCPIPNetBroadcast entry equals 1.

Decimal values of the ports are: 5631 (registered), 65301 (unregistered).

Edit the data value of TCPIPDataPort and enter the hex value of the port you require. For example, if you required port 80 (decimal), you would change the value to
50 (hex).
