Issue/Introduction
This document contains a list of registry values used to configure pcAnywhere versions 7.5, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.5 (many of these may apply to later versions; noted when new versions or reg keys have been confirmed). Some values will already exist in the registry. If you do not find the value, you will have to enter it into the registry manually.

Host |
This setting allows a host to respond to a remote's request for computer name but controls whether or not that name will appear on the remote's list of hosts. This allows you to hide the host from users scanning the network.
If the remote specifies the name of a host that has the DisplayHostInList option disabled, the host will appear in the remote's list, but the name displayed in the remote's list will not change from whatever the remote user entered.
This item currently only refers to TCP/IP hosts.

Remote |
Controls the amount of delay used to create the remote's browse list. Use this setting when remotes display an incomplete list of TCP/IP hosts in the host list over a WAN or LAN connection. Technically, it adds 0.01 seconds between UDP packets and waits one additional second for the host's response for each unit of delay set.
For example, a setting of 2 means wait .02 additional seconds between each packet and an additional 2 seconds to receive the response from those broadcasts. The default setting is zero.
If you are having problems over a WAN connection, start with a setting of 1. If the setting does not work correctly, increase the number until the entire host list is displayed.
For a RAS connection, start with a setting of 11.

UDP packets are used to determine the name and status of a host computer. These packets can be filtered out, typically by a firewall. When this happens, the remote cannot determine the status of a host. If the remote connects to a busy host, the remote will receive a blank screen. The remote can cancel from this screen and make another connection without difficulty. Sometimes, due to the length of time that the browse list updates take, updates will be turned off. By setting this item, you ensure that the list delays will not be turned off due to the length of time they take.

By default (compatibility on), pcAnywhere will try to query on port 5632. If there is no resonse on that port, pcAnywhere will query port 22. If there is no response there, pcAnywhere will scan for a response on any available port. Similarly, pcAnywhere will try to connect on port 5631. Failing that, it will try to connect on port 65301. Failing that, pcAnywhere will connect to any host responding on any port.
If compatibility is set to Off, then pcAnywhere will only open or query the registered ports (5631, 5632).

Modifies pcANYWHERE32's broadcast options to limit network traffic when the remote browses for a host.
If set to 0, only the hosts specified in Applications Options - TCP/IP host list will appear in a remote's TCP/IP browse list.
If set to 1, pcANYWHERE32 sends 254 UDP packets per network. This setting is best when accessing pcANYWHERE TCP/IP hosts through the Internet and on wide area networks. However, this option does send the most TCP/IP packets on the network. Over the Internet this can be slow and can cause timeout errors and partial or empty browse lists.
If this is set to 2, pcANYWHERE32 sends one UDP broadcast packet per network. However, if the router filters broadcast packets, you will not see pcANYWHERE32 hosts across the router.

This entry allows you to adjust the amount of delay in seconds between the network broadcasts used to refresh the host list.
The default is 50 seconds. The minimum setting is 30 seconds. A setting of zero turns off all list updates.
Use this setting to limit network traffic. Sometimes the additional network queries to refresh the browse list will interfere with getting status lights or making connections. If you have a problem getting the status lights to turn green, set this value very high, for example, 1000.
Set this registry item to a high value if you get a message that a known ready host is busy when you try to connect to the host, and direct packets are not filtered. It is especially important to increase this value if the TCPIPBrowseDelay value has been increased, because it is difficult to connect if the network query is going on at the same time.

NOTE: This registry entry does not exist in pcAnywhere 10.5. Adding this registry key may cause pcAnywhere 10.5 to not function properly.
Sets the size in bytes of TCP's Winsock buffer. Using a large value may increase the throughput of connections where the delay is large in relation to the bandwidth. This includes Internet, ISDN, RAS, dial-up networking, WAN and satellite connections.
For example, if the delay between two end points is 500 msec (.5 sec), the default throughput will be limited to 8K / .5 sec = 16K/sec. By increasing the value to its maximum setting, the theoretical throughput will be 65535 / .5 sec = 128K/sec.

When on, this registry value ensures that the pcAnywhere remote receives UDP packets sent back to it from host machines. This is a default in pcAnywhere 9.0 and does not need to be added. This resolves an issue seen with pcANYWHERE32 8.0 and Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4. For details, see pcANYWHERE32 8.0 TCP/IP hosts do not appear in remote's browse list or timeout looking for connection.

This value forces pcAnywhere to make use of WinSock 1.x rather than version 2.x. This can resolve problems with pcAnywhere making TCP/IP connections based on a computer name rather than an explicit IP address.

This sets the level of error correction used on the host. The host specifies which level of error correction the remotes will use. If you set this to 0, you should use TCPIPMcastDataDelay to slow the sends from the host to minimize the loss on slow remotes.

Host |
Use this registry item for a multi-homed, multicast host that is not binding to the correct network card. This can be why none of the remotes receive the multicast packets.
Each network card is associated with an IP address. By default, the host sends the multicast packet from the network adapter that the first remote connects from, if the remote uses a network connection. For instance, if the first remote connects over RAS, pcANYWHERE32 sends the multicast packets over the RAS interface. However, RAS does not route multicast packets. In this case, have the remote specify the host's network card address or use the registry setting to force the host to send from a particular network card.
To specify a particular network card, specify its number. For example, to force the multicast packet to be sent from the second network card, set this registry item to 2. Although the network card order is fairly stable, the order may change according to current DHCP and RAS status. To display the current network card order, run WINIPCFG.EXE for Windows 95, or IPCONFIG.EXE for Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000

Use this item for modems or other serial devices that do not initialize correctly because their DSR (Data Set Ready signal) is not initially set. It is also useful if the modem connection does not have a DSR line. This registry item forces the computer to ignore the DSR setting of the attached modem or serial device. Thus, you can get around the requirement of setting a modem's DSR high.

Each time you add a TAPI modem, it generates a unique TAPI Permanent Line ID which is stored in pcANYWHERE32's connection items. If you no longer have a modem with this unique ID, pcANYWHERE32 displays the error message "This modem no longer installed. Please update this item's properties" or "The selected modem for this connection item is no longer installed." This registry value tells pcANYWHERE32 how to handle this situation.

This registry value enables the non-SAP method of network searching instead of using the bindery when making IPX connections. Its main use is to redistribute network traffic. The non-SAP method causes the remotes, instead of the hosts, to generate network traffic every minute. This can decrease network traffic where there are many servers and only a few remotes.

Use this setting if a print job is being separated into multiple jobs during remote printing. This item sets the inactivity time-out for the remote printing facility. If there is no activity on the port being captured for remote printing, pcANYWHERE32 assumes the printing job is done and will stop spooling. This may cause a print job to be separated into multiple jobs if there is a long delay during the printing. This DWORD registry item allows you to adjust the length in seconds of the inactivity on the captured port before pcANYWHERE assumes a print job has stopped spooling.
The default is 30 seconds.
