I've had to do this for a couple as well.  I tried to minimize the risks by
using the encryption features that PC Anywhere offers, but again, I've
always wondered what real risks this entails, since I hear about FTP, WWW,
SMTP, and so many other standard services and their vulnerabilities, but I
never hear much about threats to PC Anywhere on the lists I subscribe to.

One option would be to use VPN through the sonicwall to connect and just use
PC Anywhere internally as you would from any station on the LAN, which is
the way I prefer to do it for my business.  Fortunately I haven't come up
with the need to translate PC Anywhere ports here in my own network yet.
But on my home server I have PC Anywhere running, just a software firewall
in place, and would love to hear some information regarding the threat
assessment of having pc anywhere running in various scenarios, or hear from
people who have actually had attacks against them.

IAgainest my better judgement  ;)  I need to open up PCanywhere to a server 
on my LAN.  I think will need to be a 1-to-1 NAT and then the two ports 
pcAnywhere uses.

Anyone see a problem with this?
