Call me a jerk if you will, but when questions are put like this one, does anyone else get a little irked? I know it shouldn't, but it really gets under my skin.

My. - you provide no info about your firewall, nothing to indicate your skill level when it comes to configuring the firewall, and it basically sounds like you've done absolutely ZERO research of your own.

This is by no means whatsoever a knock on your ethnicity. Apparently English is not your native tongue, and there's nothing wrong with that. But shouldn't common courtesy transcend the language barrier? Do some research on your own - call tech support for whoever makes your firewall - find out what port PcAnywhere is using - see what works and what doesn't - and re-post your question with more details and less demands. Then I bet people will be more willing to help you out.

Sorry - it's been a long day so far.

CJ, I agree with you. Some people are just lazy and don't even put the effort into adding a few periods into their sentences to make them easier to read. They also, as you say, put no effort into their own problems but merely post a question say tell me exactly how to do this. I usually just don't reply but after awhile it does get annoying.

My.- Think about your question - As CJ says - We have no idea what firewall you are using. No idea how your computer is set up or what sort of Internet connection you have. What OS are you running - etc, etc.

If you have a firewall that's capable of port mapping, or forwarding, it's simple. Take a look at these webpages to get you started. If you have any specific questions after reading them, post back.
