PC Anywhere and TZO

	Using PC Anywhere v 10.5 with TZO
	Using the Dynamic DNS service from TZO is by far the easiest possible way to connect with PC Anywhere when the HOST PC is using a dynamic IP address. PC Anywhere allows a user to reconnect back to one of their machines while at a remote location and perform remote control tasks or transfer files.

	Many Internet users have a connection at home and at work, but some of these people travel and would like to gain access to their home or work PC from the road or another location. A major problem with this scenario is most cable and DSL users are stuck with a Dynamic IP address. When the host PC dials into the Internet via a modem,or the cable or DSL modem changes its IP, the Host PC's IP Address would most likely be different every time. If you don't know the Host PC's IP address or domain name, then you can't make the connection!

	Although PC Anywhere can be connected modem-to-modem, this document assumes that you will be using the Internet as the connection between the two PC's, and you have already run the installation to install PCAnywhere on both the Client and Host PC's.

	We also assume that you are running the TZO software on the HOST system. For more information on installing and running TZO, please see the TZO Help File.

	Confused on the Host and Client? In simple terms, imagine the HOST PC is the PC you wish to connect back to when you are on the road, and the Client system would be the PC or laptop you intend on using to connect with. The Host is usually your PC at home, and the Client PC is could be your laptop you use when you are on the road traveling.

	Setting Up the HOST PC with PCAnywhere



	Run PC Anywhere - and make sure the icon bar at the top says HOSTS as shown in the screenshot above. In the main window, double click on the ADD HOST Icon.



	You will then see the screenshot above, Default connection type is TCP/IP, make sure your TCP/IP option is checked off as shown.



	Now click the SETTINGS tab, You will then see the screenshot above. We set our PCAnywhere host to LAUNCH WITH WINDOWS, incase the system reboots from a power outage, etc. We also set it to RUN MINIMIZED. Set your settings to your liking or company policy.



	Now you should click on the next tab, the CALLERS tab. This is where you add your usernames and passwords for connecting to this host. We click the NEW ITEM (unmarked) button in the upper left hand corner. This launches the New Caller dialog box as shown in the screenshot below.



	Once you click the NEW ITEM button, you should see the screenshot above, the NEW CALLER dialog box. Enter in the LOGIN NAME and the PASSWORD for each user. In the screenshot above, our user that will be calling in will be NewUser, and we set the password and confirmed the password. Once you enter the username and password of the new caller, you should click the PRIVILEGES tab as shown below to set the caller rights.

	Warning - Make sure you set proper security! Once someone knows your TZO Name, and you happen to forget to enable security in PC Anywhere , ANYONE - YES - ANYONE can completely control your PC and they can do serious damage to your PC if they have malicious intent.



	Shown above is the PRIVILEGES tab for the caller. Set the caller rights to your liking or company policy. In this case, we own the PC and want to have complete control of all PCAnywhere functions,so we select SUPERUSER as shown above. Once you do this, click apply.

	Now you are ready to connect to the Internet and get your PC ready to accept Remote Control requests from the Internet. You should dial up to the Internet, or make sure your cable or DSL modem is up and running. You should also double check to make sure TZO is running.



	To set the host to wait for a remote "call" over the Internet, you should launch PC Anywhere and click on the HOSTS Icon. You now want to double click on the MY NEW HOST Icon that you created for TZO (as shown in the main window, highlighted)

	Once you launch the MY NEW HOST setting, your PC is now ready to be remotely controlled by using a remote control PCAnywhere client. Your PC Anywhere screen will minimize and you will see a screen similar to below.



	Your PC is now waiting to be remotely controlled. Now, any PCAnywhere client can come into your PC and can perform tasks as if the remote user was on site locally. See the CLIENT PC section below to learn how to configure a client PC to connect to your HOST PC.

	Setting Up the CLIENT PC with PCAnywhere



	Now, You want to set up the client PC that will be doing the remote controlling. Click on the REMOTES Icon on the button bar as shown above and you will see the screenshot below



	You will then see the screenshot above, Default connection type is TCP/IP, make sure your TCP/IP option is checked off as shown.



	Now click the SETTINGS tab and you will see the screenshot above. Type in the exact TZO DOMAIN NAME of the PC you wish to connect to. You should type in the TZO Name as shown above, but replacing myname.tzo.com with the PC's TZO domain name that you wish to control. After you put in the domain name, set the username and password below. Since the caller we added on the HOST PC was NewUser, we will put in the NewUser username and password in and click OK.



	You are now prompted to name the remote connection. We typed in name.tzo.com, replace your connection name with anything you like and hit the enter button to finish editing the connection name. That's it, you have created a HOST on one PC, and on another PC you created the remote Client and configured the client to connect to the remote host.



	Now all you need to do to connect to your Host machine via PC Anywhere is to dial up to the Internet from your remote PC, and then run PC Anywhere. Click on the REMOTES button as shown below. Double click the MYNAME.TZO.COM (in your case, it will be named whatever you decide to call the connection) and it will begin to connect to the host PC. You should then instantly be connected to your Host PC - within 20 seconds or so. The screenshot above shows PCAnywhere attempting to make a connection to a remote host.



	If you have any problems, make sure TZO is running on the host, and also check that the host is online and can browse the Internet. If you own a SOHO router or have any type of Firewall or NAT firewall protecting your internal LAN from the Internet, you may need to open certain ports in your firewall or router to let PCAnywhere to get to your Host. To open ports in your router or firewall for PCAnywhere, see your router or firewall manual or see the TZO router tutorials under our support section. Listed below are the standard PCAnywhere ports for the HOST PC. You should configure your router to open these ports to the LAN IP address of the HOST PC. Port 5631 TCP Port 5632 UDP
