PCAnywhere going through a proxy.

[Jobi]

Hello,
I'm currently trying to configure PCAnywhere 10 to go through my work proxy and to my personal network at home. Last night i tried it from my friends house and it worked, granted he's only on a linksys router (which i am as well). I am attempting to use ports data: 1270 and status 10000 but when attempting to connect it just times out. Should i be using different ports or is there something i'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this isn't discriptive enough, please let me know.

Thanks,
Joe

The most like cause is that company has a firewall that blocks the ports you are trying to use.

If this connection is sanctioned by your company they you should be able to get you IT Support to open those ports to your home address, if not you are a little stuck unless you can get PCAnywhere working on some common port that is unlikely to be blocked (like 80 HTTP, or the FTP ports etc.)

i strongly doubt PC anywhere will go through a proxy as most proxies only allow port 80. unless your techies have allowed more ports (however, cannot see any viable reasons as to why)! it uses a mixture of udp, and tcp ports. port 22 (udp) & port 5632 (udp) are used to "ping" the host if this is successful then a connection is made using ports 5631 (tcp) & 65301 (tcp). get your techies to check firewall, and they should see everything no problem. how we used to do it in the old days was if we wanted to connect to our PC\network from home we would plug our phone line into our modem, and dial in from home. i may be wrong (as i set myself up for ridicule) but i think with the current increase in vpns, pcanywhere is a dying application???
