PC Anywhere Question

[Steve978]

Hey I've got PC Anywhere all set up and I really love it, but the deal is I have other computers on my LAN, all these computers are behind my wireless router, right now I have the ports forwarded so that I can access my desktop from school, but I need to access my other computers too. Is there someway I can access these?

all of your other comps should have their own ip right...put PC Anywhere on all of them and open a specific port of your liking...the one u use to access them input all of the ip's and ports of the setups..BTW make sure u make your router open those specific ports only

If you have you main rig set in DMZ mode, you could be leaving yourself wide open. Like Sophisticated said, only forward the ports you need.

You will have to set static IP's for each computer because you don't want the IP addresses changing if you restart them.

Well I have a router and they are all behind it, can I set them to different ports each? I only have a cable connection, so I have a dynamic IP but it changes like once every couple of months so thats not a problem. The ports for PC anywhere are 5631-5632 but I cant find anywhere how to change that for each computer.

It will only work if you can find the option within the software to set the port #, or the software has other means of differentiating between the computers.

or you can do what I have done. pcany to your one pc, then on that pc fire up another session of pcany and connect to the others, it works.

i am having similar problem. i have a d-link wireless router and a host computer is behing it. pc anywhere gives out the common ip of 192.168.1.100 and i know that this is not the actual ip address that i need. how do i extract the actual ip address so i can connect to this computer?

in short, i can connect to pc anywhere if the lan cable is connected to the computer, but i cannot connect to pc anywhere if the host is on a wireless router / wireless lan card.

You need the wan address of your router, which can be found by logging on to the routers admin page,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
