PC Anywhere 11.0.1

I had set up PC Anywhere to connect to my computer at my upstate house. When done setting it up, I had my brother try to connect and he did. I then left my upstate house a few days later and went home and I tried to connect to the computer at my upstate house, it connected. I have a domain name setup for this "upstate" computer so I tried to use the name rather than the IP address to connect, I got the box that says connecting and then it minimized on its own and all I would see is my desktop (of the home computer NOT the upstate computer). About 20 seconds passed and the PC Anywhere program automatically unminimized and just sat there, no connection took place. Basically I double click the PC anywhere Icon, the program opens up in a window. I click on the remote I want to invoke, the program minimizes and then comes back up after 20 seconds without a connection taking place and I'm back at the point where the screen looks like after I doubled clicked on the PC Anywhere icon on my desktop. I then changed the domain name back to the IP address and I still get the same minimize, unminimize no connection problem. Any ideas?
