SkyWalker1726 · 12-29-2007, 04:16 PM

Hi everyone !

i'm experiencing problems Using PCanywhere ,
what i want to do with , is to connect to my Friend's PC ( That Live in another Country ) Over an Internet Connection .
First Of all , is that Possible ?
i'm connected to internet Using a Network Adapter thruogh an ADSL modem/Router , and my friend is using WIFI ( laptop ) , but both of us , when running PCanywhere , the Programs detects our LOCAL IPS , and whenever we start a HOST or Remote , it starts scanning the LAN , and finds nothing .
the question is , how to make the PCanyhwere UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS AND INTERNET CONNECTION and that it should go through it to Find the HOST !?

Thanks :)
PS : i'm not having problems using PCanywhere on the LAN , it find wihtout any problem any PC with the same RANGE IP connected using a Hub/Switch .

You need to forward ports at the remote end.

Visit www.portforward.com and using the exact model of your router, you can look up the procedure to configure for PCA.

Did you go to the site I pointed to and follow the tutorial?

yes , it just mentioned to Forward 2 Ports , Tried after that , and it still doesn;t Work :)
Tried adding my Friends "Connection IP" to the Search Host option , but Still without any success :)
u know , my problem is that PCAnywhere detects the Wrong ip ...
Thanks again for your help

Remember, if you're connecting to your friend's machine, HE has to forward the ports through his router and/or firewall.
