How to change the IP ports that pcAnywhere 10.x uses

Situation:
Some firewalls allow only a single pcAnywhere host to use an IP port. Additional pcAnywhere hosts behind that firewall must use different ports. You want to know how to change these ports.

Solution:
To change the TCP/IP ports on the host computer:

1. Open the pcAnywhere Manager.
2. Click Tools, and then click Options.
3. Click the Host Communications tab. You may have to scroll to the right to see this tab.
4. At the bottom of the TCP/IP options section, click "Advanced TCP/IP Options."
5. Change the Data port and Status port to the ports that you want pcAnywhere to use.
6. Click OK, and click OK again. You have now configured your host to wait on a different IP port.
NOTE: Repeat these steps on each computer that needs different ports.

To change the TCP/IP ports on the remote computer:
1. Open the pcAnywhere Manager.
2. Click Remotes.
3. Right-click the remote control item that needs different TCP/IP ports, and then click Properties.
4. Ensure that TCP/IP is checked in the Connection Items list, and then click Details.
5. Change the Data port and Status port to the ports that you want pcAnywhere to use.
6. Click OK, and click OK again. You have now configured the remote control item to connect to a host on a different port..
