Setting Up Remotes Access for Multiple Hosts

[leeym]

Can anyone suggest the easiest way to use pcAnywhere to connect to multiple hosts remotely?

I could easily setup one host, and use WinXP's remote Desktop application, but there must be an easier solution.

Thanks

You could setup a VPN that you could connect to, then to the other computers you'd actually be on that inside network. You could then address each computer by its local ip, ex. 192.168.1.20 or whatever.

Are you suggesting that I first VPN to the network, then use Remote Desktop instead of using pcAnywhere?

Thanks

Yep.

Why not use pcAnywhere? Do you think it's a waste of resources?

Separately, if a VPN does not exist, what can I do to resolve the issue by using pcAnywhere?

VNC compared to RDP sucks. Remote desktop is actually a really good way to connect to other windows computers. If you have a mixed network, linux, mac, pc, then grap VNC because there are servers for most platforms. If its all windows, do yourself a favor and use RDP.
