Recovering a computer 191 About using the networking tools in Symantec Recovery Disk To prevent unauthorized users from tampering with your settings or trying to launch a session without your permission, set a password for your remote connection item. This option is available in the Remote Properties window on the Protect Item tab. The thin host does not support encryption. 5 In pcAnywhere, start the remote control session. If the connection attempt is unsuccessful, the thin host must be restarted on the host computer before you attempt to connect again. 6 Remotely perform the necessary tasks on the host computer. The remote control session ends when the thin host is closed, when the thin host computer is restarted, or when the remote control session is ended. After the host computer starts Windows, the client computer can deploy and connect a thin host on the computer to verify the success of tasks that were performed in the recovery environment. Mapping a network drive from within Symantec Recovery Disk If you started the networking services after you started the recovery environment, you can map a network drive. This lets you browse to that drive and select the recovery point that you want to restore. Or, if you create backups from the recovery environment, you can select a destination that resides on a network location. If there is no DHCP server or the DHCP server is unavailable, you must provide a static IP address and a subnet mask address for the computer on which you are running Symantec Recovery Disk. See "Configuring network connection settings" on page 192. After you provide the static IP address and subnet mask address, you can enter the recovery environment. However, because there is no way to resolve computer names, when you run the Recover My Computer Wizard or the Recovery Point Browser, you can only browse the network by using the IP addresses to locate a recovery point. You can map a network drive so that you can locate the recovery points more effectively. Or, you can use the mapped network drive as a destination for recovery points that you create from within the recovery environment. To map a network drive from within Symantec Recovery Disk 1 Do one of the following: ■ On the left side of the recovery environment window, click Home, and then in the right pane click Map a Network Drive.
