Hi I'm new to this list, hope this is the place for my question. We need to control a PC in our LAN from a home office. We do that with VNC, which works fine but rather slow as windows server. To get better respons time we would like to use pc-Anywhere. Is there someone who has experiance with pc-Anywhere, SuSE73 and SuSEfirewall2? We do not get a connection through our firewall. Port 5631/5632 are forwarded to the pc-Anywhere host, similar as with VNC. Thanks for your hints Markus

There is a way to forward port, even from windows boxes via ssh. On openssh.org you'll get putty, ssh 2 client for windows. The advantage is that all the traffic is fine encrypted and the authentification is quite secure, except some nice xploit out there (where to get sshex). VNC gets mote speed if you compress the ssh-tunnel with -c option There was a discussion here in january. Here some links http://lists2.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2002-Jan/0310.html http://lists2.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2002-Jan/0318.html Read the whole thread, with eyes on ssh solution - that rulez Nice weekende Michael Appeldorn
PC-Anywhere uses also a UDP port by default. This feature can be turned of by creating a registry node on the client machine. Create a dword key in HKLM\Software\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\System called TCPIPConnectIfUnknown and set it to 1. Selcuk On Fri, 1 Mar 2002, Markus Dahinden wrote:
