When I used it I was on DSL and the other person on a typical dialup, so I don't know what they mean by "public IP". A website didn't have to be involved in any way. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Browning" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The book says that the host site has to have a public IP so I assume that is the same as a web site. I have checked with Symantecs but you have to wade thru a lot of FAQ's and usually you do not find what your problem is. Anyway thanks for the input I'll go from here. Larry K & L Electronics ----- Original Message ----- From: Support-OrpheusComputing.com That I don't know, I only used PC Anywhere once about 5 years ago and I can't recall how it was done. All I do remember is that is VERY VERY slow, and very annoying to use. It's like watching on TV to the two "seasoned veteran news anchors" that for some reason in all their years still can't comprehend, and forget about the satellite delay "syndrome" when they try and have a conversation on air. I remember trying to type a note to the other user, and I couldn't type. I'm used to seeing my text the instant I type, but with the delay I'd type something and the keystrokes were a couple of seconds or so delayed. As was every mouse movement, etc. to which was even harder to adjust. It's great concept, but until the speed of light is faster ;-) (or more accurately, the satellite x-mission time is faster) it takes some practice. -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Browning" < Now that I have learned a bit more from the replies I have a new question. How would I go about connecting to the host computer via the internet. Have both computers on the internet and then how would I establish an address for each? As a side note I have tried using Email but the file is about 5 meg and it is divided into 15 parts using email then has to be decoded and combined at the other end.(all forms of high speed systems are not available to me in the boonies so to speak.) thanks Larry K & L Electronics ----- Original Message ----- From: Support-OrpheusComputing.com What you have to remember Larry is the Dialup is going to have a different IP address every time the PC starts or connects, and the DSL is as well in many cases. Many DSL connections are not on a static IP and change every few days or so. -Clint -----Original Message----- Larry Browning I am trying to use pcAnywhere for file transfering between two computers, one with a analog modem and the other with DSL. I understand that can not be done except thru the internet. Now I do not understand how to do that. I suppose I will have to use IP addresses but how do you find out what your IP address is?
