Hi
How can I allow incoming connections for Pc Anywhere port 5631 & 5632
to my local IP .

Do a search for port forward on this forum.  An rpm exists that will install a panel in the server-manager for port forwarding.

Also do a search on PC Anywhere on this forum and you will get all necessary details

If you install Darell May's addon, found at:

http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/portforwarding-0.0.1/dmc-mitel-portforwarding-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm

this will give you a panel in the SME manager, to setup portforwarding.

From that panel simply forward tcp ports 5631 and 5632 to the same ports on the internal ip you want to view - then point your pcanywhere to your server's ip.

We have a client that likes to use pcanywhere for their custom software vendor to admin their product.  This is how we did it:
- each pc is set up with a fixed ip internally (eg: 192.168.1.2)
- using the portforwarding panel, we forward the pcanywere ports 5631, 5632 to that ip from an external port of 5631/5632 + the last number in the ip x 10.
- ex:  entries for the port forward panel for 192.168.1.2 would be: tcp, 5651, 192.168.1.2, 5631 and a second entry of tcp, 5652, 192.168.1.2, 5632
- to log on to the pc with internal ip 192.168.1.2, you'd set pcanywhere to look at the server ip and port 5651, 5652.

Works great - if you need to use pcanywhere.  Assuming you just need access to the desktops, you might consider using VNC instead - its free and seems to have a snappier response.
