Hi,
Well, up until this test Win4Lin 3.0 had really addressed all of the
problems I had seen in previous releases and half way through the setup of
all of this I was hopeful.
My machine is RH 7.1 stock, with the prebuilt Win4Lin kernel installed.
My permanent license came through with no problems. I managed to get a
couple of apps installed and working, and then went for the tough one -
Using PC Anywhere under Win4Lin to control a remote PC. If I could do this,
then basically I could give up Windows as a at home working environment and
keep Windows only for my musical endeavors. So far, not that lucky.
The Microsoft VPN client installed fine, and I am able to connect to my
office just fine. Once connected, I correctly receive a remote IP address
via the office DHCP server, and can ping known addresses inside my office.
Everything looks good.
Then I installed PC Anywhere 10 Remote Only and attempted to connect to
my office PC, and unfortunately PC Anywhere says there's nothing to connect
to. I know there is because I can drop over to my Windows PC at home and
connect to the office PC, and my Win4Lin environment can ping my office PC,
but something going on here can't find the PC Anywhere host at the far end.
I tried to use PC Anywhere to connect to my home PC and this didn't work
either, so I don't think it's the VPN connection.
I'm wondering if anyone has:
1) Tried this yet?
2) Does anyone at NeTraverse know that this WILL NOT work for a known
technical reason?
3) Know if it could be the default ipchains setup in RH 7.1? I installed
with 'normal' security, whatever that means. How can I make sure that PC
Anywhere's port (5631, 5632) are open and not stopping this from working? (I
know nothing about administering ipchains.)
Again, thanks in advance for any ideas.
Regards,
Mark
