Connecting to a host in the host list

The Web Remote automatically searches your local subnet for TCP/IP host computers that are waiting for a connection. The Web Remote searches for hosts that are waiting on the default data port (5631).

You can also search other subnets for available hosts.

To connect to a host in the host list

  1. In the Symantec pcAnywhere Web Remote window, click Advanced.

  2. In the Advanced Options window, under Encryption, configure your encryption settings.

  3. Click OK.

  4. In the Symantec pcAnywhere Web Remote window, click Configure TCP/IP.

  5. In the Configure TCP/IP dialog box, in the Enter subnet to search box, type the subnet address that you want to search.

    To search a subnet, type the first three octets of the subnet. Then, type either .0 or .255 as the fourth octet. For example:

    172.16.0.255 or 172.16.0.0

  6. Click OK.

  7. Double-click the host computer to which you want to connect.

  8. In the Authentication dialog box, next to Login Name, type your logon name.

  9. In the Password box, type your password.

    If you are connecting to a host that is configured for Windows NT authentication, you will also be prompted for a domain name.
