pcAnywhere?

[dean12]

Boy I've got a strange one. pcAnywhere can get into my desktop when ZApro is not running. Here's the configuration:

The remote system is a WinXP box that does not run ZA. It has an address of 192.168.1.2 and via 10-BaseT connects to a Pipeline 75 router at 192.168.1.1 The Pipeline does NAT and handles the connection to the ISP which is giving us a non-static IP (it changes). My remote attempts to initiate a connection to the host which has a static address.

With ZA running, no connection. With ZA off, everything is fine. What I don't understand completely is how to tell ZA to let the connection through. I read the help and it talks about setting an IP on the remote if it is static but that is of course no help. It also talks about DHCP but I don't get what that's about.

Any ideas?

You have to set up zone alarm to accept traffic on the PC Anywhere ports 5631 and 5632. I believe this can be done by going to the Security settings and clicking on advanced. With Zone Alarm, If you do not tell it to pass specific traffic it assumes not to.
