To start the pcAnywhere thin host

After you start the thin host from the Symantec Recovery Disk, it waits for a

connection from a remote computer. You can connect to the thin host to remotely

manage a recovery or to perform other tasks in the recovery environment. You

must use Symantec pcAnywhere to connect to the thin host.

To start the pcAnywhere thin host

◆

On either the Home or Network panels in the recovery environment, click

Start the pcAnywhere Thin Host.

The networking services are started if necessary. The thin host waits for a

connection.

Remotely connecting to the thin host

Symantec pcAnywhere lets you remotely connect to a computer that is running

in the recovery environment. The computer must be running the pcAnywhere

thin host that is included in the Symantec Recovery Disk, and it must be waiting

for a connection. Once connected, the client computer can remotely manage a

recovery or perform other tasks that are supported in the recovery environment.

Note: The client computer cannot transfer files or add additional drivers for

network or storage devices on the computer that is running the thin host.

To remotely connect to the thin host

Ensure that the computer to be remotely managed (the host) has started in

the recovery environment and that the pcAnywhere thin host is waiting for

a connection.

Obtain the IP address of the thin host computer.

On the client computer, in Symantec pcAnywhere, configure a remote

connection item.

For more information, see the Symantec pcAnywhere User's Guide.

Note: You do not need to choose to automatically login to the host on

connection.

When you configure the connection in pcAnywhere, do the following:

■ Select TCP/IP as the connection type.

■ Specify the IP address of the host computer.
