I'm not using NAT. My SBS server has a static IP address on the Net. The
client PC's have dynamic addresses on the LAN side.

------------------------------------

What exactly is the problem? Are you using NAT? Dynamic IP on the Internet
side? Dynamic IP on the client on the LAN side? Something, somewhere, has to
make the translation from your public IP to the private one used by the
PCAnywhere 'host'.....

Hi - this question really doesn't belong in an Exchange newsgroup; a Windows
networking group would be a better place.

You do know about Remote Desktop in WinXP Pro, right?

All? Not a good thing. PCAnywhere needs TCP 5631 and UDP 5632 open inbound.

Also not a good thing - you need file level and Exchange antivirus - and the
file-level needs to exclude the Exchange database/log/queue folders at
minimum from scanning.
