106 Controlling another computer remotely Ways to set up a remote computer 6 Under Connection, do one of the following: Name or IP Address Phone Number For TCP/IP connections, in the Name or IP Address box, type the computer name or IP address of the pcAnywhere Gateway or Access Server through which you want to connect. For modem connections, in the Phone Number box, type the modem phone number of the pcAnywhere Gateway or Access Server through which you want to connect. This option is only available if a modem is installed and properly configured on your computer. 7 If the pcAnywhere Gateway or Access Server is configured to require a password for connections, type the password that is needed to connect. 8 If you want to connect to a specific group that is configured on the Access Server, in the Group Name box, type the name of the group. 9 In the Details dialog box, click OK. 10 In the Remote Properties window, configure any additional settings that you want to use for the connection. See "Configuring a remote network connection" on page 96. See "Configuring a remote modem connection" on page 99. Modifying connection speeds Symantec pcAnywhere automatically detects the connection speed when you make a connection unless you change this setting. High bandwidth is used for high-speed connections, such as LANs and cable modems. Symantec pcAnywhere optimizes video resolution and speed for high-bandwidth connections. Low bandwidth is used for low-speed connections, such as analog modems. Symantec pcAnywhere uses a lower video resolution for low-bandwidth connections to optimize speed. Symantec pcAnywhere automatically applies performance settings based on the connection type. If you want to use performance settings that apply to a different connection type, you must first manually change the connection type. See " Adjusting video performance settings" on page 107. See "Changing display settings during a remote control session" on page 119.
