Anybody here familiar with pcAnywhere?

I'm using pcAnywhere v.11.5 and have a problem with the Login when
I try to connect to the Host.

In configuring the Caller on the host computer I created a Username
and a Password.

Now I'm at the remote computer and when I try to login I'm being
asked for a Username, a Password AND a Domain. I've got the first
two right but I don't know what the Domain is so I get an "Invalid
Login" error.

The host computer is a home computer running XP Home and the remote
computer is running XP Pro. The Host compute is not a member of a
Domain and its Workgroup is the default XP assigned 'MSHOME'.

I've tried leaving the entry for Domain blank, entering the IP
address of the Host, the name of the Workgroup - MSHOME and even
the Computer's name. None of these work and I keep getting an
"Invalid Login" error.

Does anyone know what pcAnywhere means by 'Domain' and where would
I make those changes on the Host computer?

Thanks!
