Select the number of seconds that you have to respond to the prompt. The default value is 10 seconds. To automatically disconnect the remote user if the timeout period expires, also check Disconnect if timeout. Blank PC screen after connection Lets you blank the computer screen on the host after the connection is made to prevent others at the host site from viewing the session. Secure workstation after connection Lets you lock the host computer or log off the current user once the connection is made. 4 Click OK. Hiding the host name from network search results When a remote user starts a remote session using a TCP/IP network connection and has not specified a host name or IP address, pcAnywhere automatically scans for available hosts that are running on the same network. The user can then select a host name from the list. For security reasons, a host user or administrator might not want the host name included in the list (for example, to minimize a server's exposure on a network). Symantec pcAnywhere lets you hide the host name from the search results. You can also limit connections to specific computer names or IP addresses. For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide. To hide the host name from network search results 1 In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, in Advanced View, on the Edit menu, click Preferences. 2 In the pcAnywhere Options window, on the Host Communications tab, check Do not display host in TCP/IP search results. 3 Click OK.
