Experienced users of Symantec PC Anywhere....need some help



Peeps -

I need help from anyone who's actually configured PC Anywhere and gotten it
to work consistently, securely and in a stable manner.

I have someone who's insisting that I help with the install/setup of PC
Anywhere in a very small office. The remote connection abilities are to
allow a consultant to access the office "server" to monitor day-to-day
office scheduling, revenues, etc.

The target host/network is:

- A P4 machine (hardware is fine) running WinXP Home behind a DLink DI 524
wireless router utilizing a DSL 384k connection. Two other systems in the
small office are networked and internet enabled via the router.

------------

In scanning, searching and reading - I find conflicting or confusing
information as to how I will need to configure this to work.

-I have the impression that we'll need a static IP. True or No?

-The "Help" files within PC Anywhere seem to suggest that for DSL or Cable
that a VPN needs to be utilized. True or No?

- I suspect that I will need to re-configure the router settings and
possibly forward some ports. True or No?

Lastly, what is the simplest most cost-efficient manner in which to provide
these folks with remote access? (The consultant shoved the software down
their throats and billed them for it.)

-PC Anywhere

- WinXP remote access

- GoToMyPC


I need some firsthand experienced comments if anyone out there has pulled
this off. My experience with this particular product is squat.

Thanks in advance.........
