PCAnywhere AND Norton Firewall

[mrdance]

I try to add a rule to get my PCANYWHERE to work in a local network. I have port 5631 and 5632 as TCP and UDP. I don't get any popups but just a failure in connection from the remote computer. I have tried any adress but it doesn't work neither.

Any help would be appreciated!

What "mode" is PCAnywhere in ie.Network/Modem ?
Also is this all internal and not over the Internet.

Its internal over a lan. I am, after the antivirus install, not able to ping that computername. I don't know if that has something to do with NetBIOS blockings?!

Have you tried the Symantec KB I will take a look for you as well.
I would be interested to know the solution if you get the issue solved.

I have a home computer with a firewall using PC Anywhere to connect to the office computer. The office network is protected by a firewall and Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition. The home PC is used ONLY to connect to the office PC through PC Anywhere. Is it necessary to have a separate antivirus program loaded on the home PC?

Not for the purposes of the office connection. Yes for any other connection to the internet.

There are other options besides NAV. One example is AVG:
