-http into the linksys
-input logon and password
-click on advanced
-click on forwarding
-input a service port of 5631 ~ 5631
-protocol UTP
-ip address 192.168.1.100 (or whatever the ip address where pcanywhere is installed will be

on thenext line:
-input a service port of 5632 ~ 5632
- protocol TCP
-ip address 192.168.1.100 (or whatever the ip address where pcanywhere is installed will be

These are the default pcAnywhere port numbers: 5631 (TCP or dataport) and 5632 (UDP or statusport).

--------------------

Then setup pcanywhere on that computer and set it to wait. PUT A SECURE PASSWORD ON IT.

You do not need to put the ip address in the DMZ Zone... by doing that you'd be opening all the ports on that server computer to potential access. With just the above ports, pcanywhere will work from remote locations.

You can however, make theip address static and shut off the DHCP function on the router; which will have the effect that the second poster stated. The ip address will not change and you should be able to access the server remotely.

also setup a static IP for the host PC and put the IP in the dmz zone in the linksys so you can PC anywhere from outside of your lan.
