Enhancing Broadband

Overview

When trying to run a PCAnywhere server from the LAN side of a ST510, pinholes, or port forwards, need to be created.  This enables the incoming data for PCAnywhere to pass through the firewall and terminate on the computer running the PCAnywhere server application.

Problem

After installing PCAnywhere, a client computer cannot connect remotely

Solution

We will need to create port forwards through the router’s firewall.  This document will guide you through setting up NAPT entries in the router to forward the PCAnywhere packets to the PCAnywhere server computer.

Instructions:

1. Open your web browser, e.g. Internet explorer, and type in the routers IP address in the address bar (10.0.0.138 is the Speedtouch default IP address).

2. This should open the routers configuration page. Select the 'Advanced' option on the left side of the page.

3. Select 'NAPT'.

4. Select 'New' and create a new entry with the following info:
   - Protocol: tcp
   - Inside IP: Your inside IP address. (10.0.0.1)
   - Outside IP: 0.0.0.0
   - Inside/Outside port: 5631.

5. Click 'Apply'.

6. Click 'New' and create a new entry with the following info:
   - Protocol: udp
   - Inside IP: Your inside IP address. (10.0.0.1)
   - Outside IP: 0.0.0.0
   - Inside/Outside port: 5632.

7. Click 'Apply' and 'Save All'.

PC anywhere should now work. If this does NOT work then also do the following.

1. Telnet into the router by clicking on Start then 'Run'.

2. Type in 'cmd' for Windows 2000/XP or 'command' for Windows 98/ME and select OK.

3. Type in 'telnet 10.0.0.138' and press enter. Enter you username and password as prompted

4. You should then see the following graphic

5. Type in the following commands:
   => nat unbind application=GRE port=1
   => saveall
   => exit

6. Close the command window.

PC anywhere should now be working OK.
