REGEDIT 4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\PCAnywhere\CurrentVersion\Host] "ServiceStealthMode"=dword:00000001run it
pcAnywhere
IP port usage
Situation:
You want to configure a firewall
to allow pcAnywhere connections, and you need to know which IP ports pcAnywhere
uses.
Solution:
pcAnywhere uses either of two sets of ports depending on the version
of pcAnywhere you are using. One set uses ports 65301 and 22. The second
set uses the registered ports 5631 and 5632.
| pcAnywhere version | TCP (data) port number | UDP (status) port number | How to convert to the other set of ports |
| 2.0 | 65301 | 22 | Download and install the file Ports_20.exe |
| 7.0 | 65301 | 22 | Download and install the file Ports_70.exe |
| 7.50, 7.51 | 65301 | 22 | Upgrade to 7.52 by downloading and installing the upgrade file 75up_c.exe |
| CE | 65301 | 22 | Ports cannot be changed |
| 7.52 | 5631 | 5632 | Run the file Tcpport2.reg located in the pcAnywhere folder. |
| 8.x, 9.0 | 5631 | 5632 | Automatically accounts for connection to or from the older set of ports. |
| 9.2 | 5631 | 5632 | Does not automatically account for connection to or from the older set of ports. See the document Cannot connect with TCP/IP to older versions of pcAnywhere with version 9.2 for more detail. |
pcANYWHERE32 7.52
This version includes two registry files. Importing one file or the
other will change the ports that pcAnywhere uses. The files are:
Double-clicking the file imports the new settings into the Windows
registry.

These versions of pcAnywhere automatically detect whether the opposite
end is using the older ports or the registered ports. If you want pcAnywhere
to use only the registered ports, follow these steps to change a registry
setting:
