Connecting to a host

The pcANYWHERE EXPRESS control is run automatically when a web page is displayed that contains the pcANYWHERE ActiveX control. A connection to a host PC may occur in any of the following ways, depending on how the Web Author implemented pcANYWHERE EXPRESS:

• Immediately upon displaying the web page

• Clicking the Connect button or other connection control provided on the web page.

To connect to a host PC:

1. Click the connection control.

2. Type the host name or IP address or select a host from the list of available hosts.

   

3. [Optional] click Configure to create a custom list of hosts to search for. You can search for hosts on other subnets by using the IP address of the host. You can also search for a group of hosts on a subnet by substituting 255 for the last portion of an IP address. For example, an address of 120.45.62.255 in the TCP/IP list causes pcANYWHERE to list all hosts with IP addresses beginning with 120.45.62.

4. After connecting, type your name and password if the host requires it.
