Running pcAnywhere in Gateway mode on the WinRoute firewall will allow the remote client to retrieve a list of available pcAnywhere hosts running behind the firewall. From this list you can manage any one of the pcAnywhere hosts behind the WinRoute firewall.
These steps assume you are using pcAnywhere 9.0 and are not filtering any incoming/outgoing packets at the WinRoute firewall.
- Managed computers behind the WinRoute firewall will run PC Anywhere Host using TCP/IP
- Remote computer will run PC Anywhere Remote using TCP/IP
- pcAnywhere is installed on WinRoute firewall using the Gateway mode. When configuring the Gateway device both the Incoming and Outgoing devices should be set to TCP/IP
- On the WinRoute firewall, pcAnywhere must be configured to listen on the internal NIC (e.g.192.168.1.1). Directions on how to configure pcAnywhere to listen on a specific IP address/NIC can be found on Symantec's web site
- Add the specific IP address(s) of the computers to be managed in Network Options of pcAnywhere. To scan the whole subnet use 255 as the last octet (192.168.1.255).
- Configure port mapping in WinRoute this way:
Listen IP: External NIC (206.86.181.25)
Listen Port: RANGE (5631-5632)
Destination IP: Internal NIC (192.168.1.1)
Destination Port: 5631-5632
