wingate firewall and pcanywhere

Mar 11 04 2:45 am

A remote-control computer is a pcAnywhere host as well as a Wingate server without installing its own firewall. Can I install the firewall yet?

But the critical problem is how I manage to open ports pcAnywhere is just using, because the computer will restart after the installation, then I will not connect the server from my client PC any more. The server computer is far from me I can't get there. I can only control it through pcAnywhere. How to solve it? Thank you very much!

Do you mean that you will be installing WinGate remotely via PC Anywhere? Thats going to be a bit of a problem if you enable the ENS during the install because you will need to 'Allow' ports 5631 / 5632 (unless you've changed the PC Anywhere defaults). Is there not anyone at the local computer who could put those holes in the firewall after WinGate has been installed?

yeah, so I must let someone at the local conputer allow ports 5631/5632 in the firewall after installation, don't I? Maybe I can let someone help me there.

After I can control the remote computer, should all the ports Wingate services are occupying be allowed in the firewall?

Setup of the WinGate firewall with regards to WinGate Services are done automatically when you bind any service to an external adapter. The same goes for the closing of the appropriate firewall holes.

If you have any additional applications that listen on ports (And are not part of WinGate) you will need to setup the appropriate port security actions for them.
