Hi Spence

My own implementation is in fact to allow the following:
PCAnywhere Client <-- ISA <-- Public PC
So I have in essence Server Published my PC Anywhere client for a specific
set of protocols and users

Nef's scenario is to do the following:
Nef's PC --> ISA --> Public PC
So in essence, 
- if the Public PC is not protected by a firewall (or Nef's IP is at least
given acess through it), 
- and Nef has a Protocol Rule allowing outbound connections to the same
ports on which the Public PC is listening, 
- and Nef's PC has the Firewall Client installed (assuming he is
authenticating by username and not as a SecureNAT client)

then there shouldn't be a problem. Honestly though I believe by using the
Firewall Logs, in conjunction with Jim's Winsock Tool for testing, this
problem should be able to be resolved quite quickly.

Good luck Nef.

William and Nef,

I have read this a couple of times now, and still struggle to completely
understand it - but here goes with what I think will solve the problem.

'PC Anywhere PC on a public address' - this must be outside the firewall
(ISA) but may have another firewall protecting it!
Control the remote PC with another PC (I'm assuming from behind ISA)

I do this (with different port numbers) every day by making the local PC a
firewall client.  Other configuration may still be needed at the remote PC's
firewall (assuming this is NOT ISA)

I think William's idea is to control a PC behind ISA, not outside it!

Even writing this I still think that I'm misunderstanding it and confusing
others, but it may help someone to explain it a bit better :)

...Spence

Hi Nef

As far as I am concerned the ports should have worked. So I am loathe to
suggest any other solution as there is most likely something else at fault
here.

What I would suggest though is that you confirm that your PCAnywhere client
is in fact configured to use the default ports of 5631 and 5632. I do not
know where you change it (don't use PCAnywhere much myself...) but I know
there are options to actually change the ports on the client itself.

You should be able to confirm this by using Jim Harrison's WinSock Tool
(http://isatools.org/winsocktool.msi) to at least see if the ports are
listening...

Once you have confirmed that you are connecting to the correct ports, then
you need to ensure that you have the Firewall Client installed on the
workstation that you are trying to connect from, and create a new Protocol
Rule for the TCP and UDP ports that the PCAnywhere client is listening on.
Grant your user account access to use this Protocol Rule and you shouldn't
have any problems...

If you still have trouble, check the Firewall logs to see what port your
computer is trying to establish a connection on, and take it from there...

Cheers
William R.

I've have added the 2 protocols as you described, but I still have the same
issue.
Only by having a protocol rule that allows All IP traffic am I able to
remote control the 'public' PC via PCAnywhere, which is not a very secure
solution.

Any other thoughts?

Hi there

I have the reverse of what you want, but it should still apply...

I have server-published a workstation for PCAnywhere access on the following
protocols:
TCP 5631 & TCP 5632
UDP 5631 & UDP 5632

These are the only 4 protocols that I need open. I see that you don't have a
UDP protocol rule for 5631 & 5632, so maybe you can give this a bash?

Cheers
William R.

Here's my dilemna:
I have a remote PC with a public address the I need to remote control via PC
Anywhere.
Here are my protocols rules:

PCAnywhere
        Description : PCAnywhere Software Access
        Initial Connection Port Number : 5633
        Initial Protocol Type : TCP
        Initial Direction : Inbound
        Secondary Connections:
        ** Port Range : 5630 - 5634
           Protocol Type : TCP
           Direction : Inbound
        ** Port Range : 5630 - 5634
           Protocol Type : TCP
           Direction : Outbound
        ** Port Range : 5634 - 5634
           Protocol Type : UDP
           Direction : Receive and Then Send
        ** Port Range : 5634 - 5634
           Protocol Type : UDP
           Direction : Send and Then Receive
Then I have another protocol rule that allows all IP traffic. I have to
enable this rule in order to access the PC via PCAnywhere. When I disable
this rule (All IP) I cannot access the PC via PCAnywhere.
It seems like there is something wrong with my PCAnywhere rule. Does anyone
what it may be?
