pcANYWHERE32 for Windows 95 and Windows NT Version 8.0 Copyright 1997 Symantec Corp. All Rights Reserved. 08AUG97 ====================================================================== Thank you for choosing pcANYWHERE32 If you experience problems with pcANYWHERE32, please check the manual and this document for any information that may pertain to your problem. If this information does not help, you can contact Symantec Technical Support at (541) 465-8430. We also provide the following online service and support options: Symantec BBS (541)484-6669 CompuServe Type "GO SYMANTEC" at any prompt America Online Type keyword "SYMANTEC" Internet HTTP://WWW.SYMANTEC.COM (information only) FTP.SYMANTEC.COM (downloads only) News Server Service.symantec.com ====================================================================== 30-DAY TRIAL VERSION OVERVIEW ====================================================================== * The 30-day trail version will allow potential customers to test drive a fully functional version of pcANYWHERE32, with the following enhancements/constraints: * The user will not be able to re-install on the same machine (PC) after the 30-day time-out. The disks may be used on a different PC, however. * On startup, a dialog box will indicate the number of days until expiration. The user must press "I Agree" button in order to run the product. * During the last five (5) days of the trail period an additional dialog will remind the user of expiration and also offer purchase information. * In addition, to the above dialog boxes, the "About Box" of pcANYWHERE32 30-day version, will indicate the number of days left in the trial period. * This 30-day version will not allow for an administrator install. If you run setup /A it will display a message saying that it is not supported for evaluation. ====================================================================== This file includes additions and changes to the printed manual. It also includes important upgrade, troubleshooting and compatibility information. Please read this information before using pcANYWHERE. This document is organized into three sections: 1. Installation 2. Compatibility 3. Corrections and Additions ====================================================================== 1. INSTALLATION ====================================================================== 1.1 Upgrading from a previous Version of pcANYWHERE32 ------------------------------------------------- If you have a previous version of pcANYWHERE32 installed either uninstall the previous version FIRST then install version 8.0 OR install directly over your existing version. Attempting to keep both versions can cause pcANYWHERE version 8.0 not to function correctly. 1.2 NETWORK INSTALLATIONS --------------------- * Administrators creating a pcANYWHERE32 NT workstation installation from a network drive need to alter the "Add Be A Host" template before workstation users begin to create Host session items. The default template setting "Run as a Service" should be unchecked if Host items files are stored on the network. Host files stored on a network drives will not launch if "Run as a Service" is checked. * Do not restrict access to the pcANYWHERE installation directory by setting callers' security privileges to "No Access". Callers must be given read-access to these files. * In order to access Administrator options, a workstation install must be performed on the Administrator's machine. If the /A option is invoked without first installing a workstation, you will not be prompted for an Administrator password. * If Host or caller files are located on a network drive, you will not have access to the "Launch Host at startup" feature. 1.3 Standalone Installations ------------------------ It is not recommended to install the standalone version of pcANYWHERE32 on your network. Installing the standalone version on the network instead of the local drive will cause a "Device file aw_host.386 cannot be found" error upon reboot after the installation. If you wish to use pcANYWHERE32 from the network please install a workstation installation. 1.4 International Installations --------------------------- Installing the International English version of pcANYWHERE32 on a PC that has a Internationalized Symantec product already installed will cause your existing LiveUpdate to be replaced by International English version of LiveUpdate. 1.5 BackOffice Installation ----------------------- The Package Distribution File (PDF) required for System Management Server software distribution is located in the \BKOFFICE directory. Import the PCAW32.PDF file using the Import utility within the System Management Server Administrator when creating a new pcANYWHERE32 package. Copy the contents of all seven disks located in \installs\pca32 into ONE directory on your BackOffice server. For more information on how to setup and distribute applications from your BackOffice server please refer to the SMS documentation. ====================================================================== 2. COMPATIBILITY ====================================================================== 2.1 pcANYWHERE 5.0 for DOS pcANYWHERE 2.0 for Windows pcANYWHERE 7.x for Windows 95 and Windows NT -------------------------------------------- * pcANYWHERE 2.0x TCP/IP Hosts can be made visible to a pcANYWHERE32 Remote browse list in two different ways: 1. Specify the Host IP explicitly on the Remote TCP/IP browse list, located under Application Options, or 2. Enhance TCP/IP on older pcANYWHERE 2.0 Hosts with the file (AWCMTCP.DLL). This file is included in the self extracting file Ports_20.exe which is available on the Symantec BBS or Symantec forum on CompuServe. * Executing an AutoXfer(tm) procedure with a previous version of pcANYWHERE will "End session when finished" even when this feature is not enabled. * Simultaneous File Transfer and Remote Control is only supported between pcANYWHERE 7.5 or later Hosts and Remotes. * If you experience slow performance when connected to a pcANYWHERE32 host (version 7.5 or higher) from pcANYWHERE 5.0 for DOS or 2.0 for Windows remote try turning off the remote's cache file. * Previous versions of pcANYWHERE (2.0, and 7.x) do not support Host conferencing. pcANYWHERE v8.0 Conferencing hosts will be shown as BUSY in version 2.0 and 7.x remote host lists. * Data Conversion Under NT, when converting pcANYWHERE configuration files configiured for IPX the connection type will be changed to SPX. The master password from a previous installation of pcANYWHERE 2.0x should be disabled before converting files. Data files configured as "Shared" under a previous Administrator installation of pcANYWHERE cannot be converted to pcANYWHERE32. 2.2 NORTON UTILITIES 2.0 for 95 and NT ---------------------------------- Users of Norton System Doctor should disable notification when operating a pcANYWHERE32 host. When rebooting a host machine remotely, Norton System Doctor message dialogs may keep the pcANYWHERE host from resetting properly. 2.3 NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2.0 for 95 and NT ---------------------------------- If you have your pcANYWHERE32 Host set to Launch at Startup and you reboot your host computer NAV might halt the reboot process when a virus is found. To allow NAV to inoculate the virus and complete the reboot so that you may reconnect to your host computer set the following options in NAV. 1. In the Alert tab set "Remove Alert Dialog after __ Seconds" to a numeric value. 2. In the Inoculation tab Disable "Inoculate Boot Records and System Files" to skip this action OR Set Inoculation to "Inoculate Automatically" for when an item has not been inoculated or changed. 3. In the Auto-Protect tab set "When a Virus is Found" to "Repair Automatically" 2.4 WinFAX Fax/Data Call Discrimination ----------------------------------- In order for WinFax to give control of an incoming telephone call to a waiting pcANYWHERE32 Host, the WinFax feature "Call Discrimination" must be enabled. For more information, consult your WinFax User Manual. To enable Fax/Data Call Discrimination follow the procedure below: For WinFAX 7.x: 1. In Winfax, click on "Setup" drop down menu and then click on "Receive". 2. Enable "Direct data calls to an available data communications program"***. 3. Enable "Automatically answer incoming calls" 4. Click on OK. 5. Start WINFAX (see below) For WinFAX 8.0: 1. In Winfax, click on "Setup" drop down menu and then click on "Receive". 2. Enable "Automatically answer incoming calls" 3. Click on the "Advanced Tab and enable "Direct data calls to an available data communications program"***. 4. Click on OK. ***If this option is greyed out, visit http://service.symantec.com and use Symantec's "Support Genie". Select WinFax 8.0 as the product and specify "call discrimination" as the problem description. Starting WinFAX 1. Run WinFAX or the Commbar utility (in verion 7.x) or the Controller (in version 8.0) 2. Start the pcANYWHERE32 Host. WinFAX will answer the call. If it is a FAX call, WinFAX will handle it. If it is a data call, WinFAX will hand the call off to pcANYWHERE32. Note: FAX/DATA/VOICE will require a specific dialing sequence or with WinFAXPRO 8.0, a DATA only mailbox may be set up. **Important** Certain USRobotics 28.8 modems, with EPROM dates predating '96, do not handle call discrimination properly. Please contact USRobotics for information on how to obtain the newer chipset. 2.5 WINDOWS NT ---------- * For optimal performance under Windows NT, it is recommended that pcANYWHERE32 NT Hosts are configured to "Run as a Service". * Those who see a performance decrease when opening a DOS window on a pcANYWHERE32 NT Host can improve the speed by altering NT tasking, located under System in the Control Panel. The default setting should be changed from "Best Foreground Application Response Time", to "Foreground and Background tasks equally responsive". Under Microsoft NT 4.0, go to the control panel, click "System", click the "Performance" tab and mode the slider bar all the way to the LEFT. Foreground and background tasks are now equally responsive. * If you have problems with your remote keyboard (such as non-ALT keys selecting menus) when connected to a pcANYWHERE32 NT Host, try individually pressing the ESC, Left and Right Shift, ALT, or CTRL keys. * You may experience difficulty changing desktop resolution and color depth under Windows NT 4.0 in certain conditions such as installing new video card hardware or changing between VGA (safe mode) and back again. To resolve this problem: 1. Uninstall pcANYWHERE32 2. Within the NT Control Panel, change to the proper resolution 3. Reinstall pcANYWHERE32 * When connected to a pcANYWHERE32 host under Windows NT 4.0, the use of non-standard cursors (Ex. High-colored or animated) may cause unpredictable results, such as improper translation of the cursor on the remote and/or markedly slowed session performance. * If you are using a pcANYWHERE DOS 5.x remote to connect to an NT 4.0 host and encounter video problems, set the host video mode selection to run in "Compatibility" mode. * If you are using NT Authentication and you are using an NT Domain user to login into to a pcANYWHERE host then that user must be given the Log On Locally right. If the the NT Domain user account does not have this NT User right you will not be able to login to your host. * NT 4.0 Hosts configured for SPX protocol will remain in the remote's SPX host list as an available host after the host has been canceled. To solve this problem you must add the SAP agent to your HOST'S Network configuration. To add the SAP agent perform the following steps on your NT host: 1. Open Control Panel, 2. Select Network 3. Select Services 4. Select ADD button 5. Select SAP AGENT from the list Note: If you have a service pack already installed it must be reapplied after adding the SAP Agent. * If you unlock your NT Workstation and you see a screen with the color of your desktop but nothing else, it appears that you are stuck. You can perform the following steps to get out of this condition: 1. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the NT Security Dialog. 2. Select either "Logoff..." or "Shutdown...". 3. During the Logoff / Shutdown process NT will prompt you to save any unsaved work. 4. When you are presented with the NT Logon Screen, either by Logoff or Shutdown (and the corresponding reboot), the problem will be gone and you can re-log into Windows NT." 2.6 WINDOWS 95 ---------- * On Windows 95 remotes only, when selecting CTRL+ALT+DEL in session, the CTRL and ALT key are left in the depressed state on the host. In session, it may appear as if the keyboard is locked. To correct this, the key may be toggled again on the remote or the focus can be changed to the remote desktop and back to the pcANYWHERE terminal window. * If you have Microsoft's Dialup Networking v1.2 for Windows 95 installed, it is recommended that you update to the latest version of Winsock 2. For more information about this update and how to install it please contact Microsoft. 2.7 International Issues -------------------- * Currently the Connection Dialog Host List does not support Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS). This may cause some displaying problems. You will still be able to connect to the Host, but the name will contain different characters. * NEC PC98 users - If your ALT key (GRPH) locks in session, contact NEC or your computer distributor for the keyboard driver upgrade, with the filename KBD98UPD.EXE. 2.8 NOVELL NETWARE -------------- * Multiple sessions using IPX connections are not supported under Microsoft Windows 95. * pcANYWHERE32 SPX Host lists are supported under Windows NT 3.51 ONLY if the Novell Netware client for Windows NT is installed. * The NetWare Client for NT must be installed BEFORE pcANYWHERE32 is installed. If you install the client after pcANYWHERE32 is installed you will lose functionality for both the client and pcANYWHERE32. To properly install both the client and pcANYWHERE32 perform the following steps: 1. Uninstall pcANYWHERE32 2. Install the Netware client for NT 3. Install pcANYWHERE32 2.9 MULTIPROCESSOR COMPUTERS ------------------------ pcANYWHERE32 has been tested on the following multiprocessor computers: Micron Millennia SMP Power Server (2 processors) Hewlett Packard Netserver (4 processors) Hewlett Packard Vectra XU (2 processors) Compaq Proliant 2500 (2 processors) If you are planning to use pcANYWHERE on another multiprocessor computer, Symantec recommends that you test pcANYWHERE on that computer before using it in a production environment. 2.10 Banyan Vines ------------ Multiple sessions using Banyan Vines connections are not currently supported under Microsoft Windows 95 and NT 3.51/4.0 2.11 CAPI ---- AVM/A1 cards running the North American CAPI drivers (Windows 95) do not support channel bonding. Checking "Attempt Channel Bonding" in pcANYWHERE32 may produce unpredictable results. Contact AVM for information on updated drivers. If you plan to use channel bonding, make sure the host option called "attempt channel bonding" is enabled on the pcANYWHERE32 host. 2.12 Infrared -------- In-session video performance on NT and 95 could be slowed when using Microsoft's Infrared driver. To avoid this problem perform the following steps: 1. Open Control Panel and select Infrared 2. Select Monitor Preferences 3. Disable the option "Display the Infrared Icon in Taskbar" 2.13 VIDEO ADAPTERS AND GRAPHICS ACCELERATORS ---------------------------------------- If you experience problems with a 3D graphics accelerator video adapter, you may need to disable some of the adapter's advanced accelerator features. * Testing with the Matrox Millenium indicates that the PowerGDI Acceleration option should be disabled when the adapter is used with a pcANYWHERE32 Host. * Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 - If you observe horizontal lines on your desktop when windows are dragged, contact Diamond (www.diamondmm.com) for the latest Windows 95 drivers, version 4.04.00.2104 posted 12/10/96, 3D952104.EXE 2.14 MODEMS ------ If you experience connection problems using modems under WIN95, try lowering the default FIFO buffer settings, or changing the default data rate. These options are found in the modem's Connection property page, under the headings "Port Settings" and "Maximum Speed". 2.15 WINDOWS NT RAS -------------- * To avoid conflicts with the Remote Access Service and pcANYWHERE modem hosts, a pcANYWHERE network host should be setup instead. For more information, refer to the pcANYWHERE manual under "Remote Networking". * After successfully configuring a Remote Networking item, a pcANYWHERE32 Remote Control item named "RAS" is created in the Remote Control window. This item is not to be used for your dial-up networking connections. Click "Remote Networking" and choose the appropriate item. 2.16 SERIAL PORT HARDWARE -------------------- Many older and low-end PC's use 8250 UART chips for their serial ports. These chips do not adequately support large amounts of data at high data rates. To get the best performance from pcANYWHERE and other communication applications, you should use a serial I/O card with a 16550A UART or similar chip. These are available at many computer stores. 2.17 MICROSOFT QuikRes ----------------- Changing the pcANYWHERE host desktop resolution or color depth on-the-fly with the freeware program "QuikRes" may cause the host to lose desktop optimization or end the connection. 2.18 Video Conferencing ------------------ * To configure your video conferencing software to work with pcANYWHERE complete the following steps: On your PC that will act as the pcANYWHERE remote: 1. Go to your start menu and select Run 2. Select Browse and locate your pcANYWHERE install directory. For example, the default install directory is c:\PROGRAM FILES\ pcANYWHERE\ 3. Locate the file Videocon.exe and execute it. 4. Enter the correct path where the video conferencing software program is located on your host PC. 5. If you want to pass a TCP/IP address to your video conferencing software enter the software's command line switch. 6. Select OK On your PC that will act as the pcANYWHERE host: 1. Start the pcANYWHERE TCPIP host 2. Start the CuSeeMe Listener feature on your pcANYHERE host Complete the connection 1. Establish a pcANYWHERE TCPIP connection between the remote and host 2. ON the Remote's In-session toolbar select the Video Conferencing button. 2.19 Nuts & Bolts software --------------------- PcANYWHERE will not function under Windows 95 if the "Write protect all VxD's and System Memory" item within the Bomb Shelter component is enabled. This item is enabled by default. Disable this item and pcANYWHERE will function with this software. 2.20 FTP CORP. "ONNET" STACK USERS ----------------------------- PcANYWHERE users owning FTP Corporations' OnNet Stack do not have access to the SPX device protocol under pcANYWHERE32. 2.21 TCP/IP FIREWALL SECURITY ------------------------ Network administrators may configure their network security to allow TCP/IP connections over the Internet. pcANYWHERE32 uses two ports, 5631 and 5632, which must be left open by the system administrator to allow connections through the firewall. ====================================================================== 3. CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS ====================================================================== 3.1 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS -------------------- *You can use the following command line options from the DOS prompt to start Gateways, Hosts, Remotes, or Online functions: <path to pcaw32>\AWHOST32.EXE <path to pcaw32>\data\<file>.bhf <path to pcaw32>\AWREM32.EXE <path to pcaw32>\data\<file>.chf <path to pcaw32>\AWGATE32.EXE <path to pcaw32>\data\<file>.gwf <path to pcaw32>\AWONL32.EXE <path to pcaw32>\data\<file>.osf You can now use a command line option to have a pcANYWHERE host call a remote. At the command prompt, type: AWHOST32.EXE <file>.BHF /c (for Windows 95) AWHOST32.EXE <file>.BHF /d /c (for Windows NT) NOTE: This command will not work if the host is waiting on two devices * Scripts may be executed from the command line by using the following syntax: <path to pcaw32>\AWREM32.EXE <path><scriptname>.scr * Allow host to specify the remote's phone number from the command line when the host is calling the remote. Format: <path to pcaw32>\AWHOST32.EXE <path to pcaw32>\data\<file>.bhf /cN Where: N - is the phone number you wish to dial (Ex. 1234567) The phone number can be at most 30 digits. <file>.bhf - is a host file configured for modem or TAPI. Example: AWHOST32.EXE c:\program files\pcanywhere\data\modem.bhf /c1234567 3.2 Stophost Utility ---------------- This utility is used to cancel waiting pcANYWHERE32 hosts outside the pcANYWHERE application. This utility is useful when used in a DOS batch file or a NetWare login script, thus giving you the ability to cancel pcANYWHERE hosts on one or more workstations on your network. The Stophost.exe utility can be found in your pcANYWHERE installation directory. 3.3. Encrpytion ---------- pcANYWHERE provides two unsupported utilities (MACHKEY.EXE and CertCons.exe) to help configure and manage your OS's encryption configuration. For more information on these utilities refer to the crypto.txt file located in your pcANYWHERE installation directory. 3.4 Host Conferencing ----------------- * It is recommended that the host conferencing PC be a Pentium class computer, especially if a large number of remotes (i.e. 50 or more) will be connecting to the conferencing host. * Host Conferencing does not support encryption. If you attempt to start an encryption-enabled Conferencing host a message will appear indicating encryption will not be used and continue to load the TCP/IP Conferencing host. Remotes connecting to the Conferencing Host will drop down to the NONE encryption level upon connection. 3.5 Host Administrator ------------------ To manipulate host services on other NT PCs outside of an NT Domain, both the PC running the Host Administrator and the NT PCs you wish to manipulate must have the same NT account name, password, and Administrator rights. This does not apply when manipulating pcANYWHERE host services on NT PCs within a domain. In this scenario all NT PCs need only to be logged into the Domain with any account with Administrator rights. 3.6 Fault Tolerant Booting ---------------------- Because all hardware works differently, pcAnywhere 8.0 may be incompatible with your video card or the drivers that it uses. pcAnywhere has a built-in mechanism to detect this and disables itself when this type of scenario comes up. If, while your computer is booting up, you see it reboot itself for no apparent reason, it may be that pcAnywhere has noticed this scenario and is in the process of disabling itself. Please note that pcAnywhere does not completely disable itself, it just changes the defaulted Video Acceleration Mode to Video Compatibility Mode which works with all video cards and drivers. 3.7 File Transfer/Virus Scanning ---------------------------- pcANYWHERE32 will not scan files contained within ZIP files for viruses during file transfers when the "Virus Check All Downloadable Files" option is enabled. 3.8 CALLER SECURITY OPTIONS ----------------------- Under Security Options, the feature "Prompt to confirm connection" will only function for those callers that are not SuperUsers (that is, those who have individual caller privileges defined). 3.9 Drive Security -------------- When Floppy Drive Access under Drive security for a Caller is set to NO ACCESS you may encounter a "Media Not Present or Not Formatted error" when using Windows 95 features such as My Computer or Explorer. However, some third party applications installed on the Windows 95 host may be able to access the floppy drive, but they will not see any data. For example, Norton Antivirus will scan a floppy, but the file scan will be zero since it could not access files the floppy drive. 3.10 Voice/Data Switching -------------------- In NT 3.51 certain modem strings are issuing an X4 command (Send no dialtone if dial tone is not detected in approximately 5 seconds). For voice first connections the modem is not going to hear a dial tone and if a carrier is not detected before the time out a NO CONNECTION will result. To avoid this problem use the ATX0 command (blind dial, ignore dial tone and busy signal) in the Extra Modem Commands field. 3.11 Gateways -------- * Modem In/SPX out gateways running on NT 3.51 will not display an SPX host list when a pcANYWHERE remote dials into the gateway. To get around this you must type both the name of a host PC and the phone number in your Remote objects property Settings dialog. Ex. 123-4567@SPX_HOST_NAME * Gateways do not support the Callback feature. If a gateway dials into a host configured for callback the gateway will not connect the waiting remote to the host when the host calls back. The gateway will return to waiting mode. 3.12 SCRIPT LANGUAGE --------------- * The script command "LOAD CONFIG" is no longer supported. Use the commands "LOAD ONLSVCINFO" or "LOAD HOSTINFO" instead. * pcANYWHERE32 v8.0 scripting language is now year 2000 compatible. All date functions now require four digit values and will not work when executed in version 7.x. If your version 8.0 script does NOT contain date functions then your script should operate correctly when executed in version 7.x. 3.13 OLE --- * pcANYWHERE Host objects do not support OLE when they are "Run as a service." Disable this feature when launching Host objects embedded within other applications or run from the file manager. * The OLE service must be installed and activated under Windows NT 3.51 before installing pcANYWHERE32; otherwise, you might receive an "OLE Initialization failed" message when running pcANYWHERE32. 3.14 Active Windows Tracking ----------------------- To enable sound with Active Windows Tracking on your remote PC add the following DWORD registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion \WINAW32\Sounds\WindowTrackingSound 1 - turns the sound ON during window tracking 0 - turns the sound OFF during window tracking When the key does not exist the default is no sound. 3.15 Mouse Synchronization --------------------- If you are experiencing mouse synchronization problems enable the Synchronize Mouse Buttons option in the Applications Option's Remote Operation tab on your remote. 3.16 TCP/IP ------ * When specifying TCP/IP Host names to connect to, lowercase extended ASCII characters (e.g. "÷") cannot be used, or the name will not appear on the list of available Hosts. * The pcANYWHERE32 TCP/IP driver now supports browsing for Hosts at connection time. While the default configuration of this feature will work fine for most users, you may need to make some adjustments on your system. To do this, you will need to use the Windows Registry Editor. See your Windows documentation for more information. The following Registry items affect the ability to browse and connect to pcANYWHERE32 TCP/IP Hosts: TCPIPBrowseDelay - Allows the user to set the delay used when creating the Remote's browse list. For a RAS connection, start with a setting of 11. If the complete Host list is not received over a WAN connection, start this value at 2 and increase until the entire Host list is displayed. DisplayInHostList - This item can be altered for pcANYWHERE32 Hosts that do not wish to appear in a Remote's browse list, when the Remote is scanning the network. The default for this setting is 1. To keep the Host from being displayed on a browse list, assign the registry key a value of zero. TCPIPConnectIfUnknown - Use this feature if your Internet service provider filters UDP packets. Test this by specifying a known pcANYWHERE32 Host in the TCP/IP Host list. If the status remains "unknown", set the DWORD to 1. (Connecting to a Host whose status is known, but is actually busy, will correctly result in a blank screen). TCPIPNetBroadcast - Allows you to control TCP/IP network broadcasts for those users who would like to limit their network traffic. Create this key as a DWORD and give it value of 0, 1, or 2 depending on the TCP/IP Broadcast you wish to implement. The default value is 1. 0 - Turns off all TCP/IP Broadcasts, as a result, only those hosts specified in applications options - TCP/IP host list will appear in a remoteÆs TCP/IP browse list. 1 - This option is best when accessing pcANYWHERE TCP/IP hosts thru the Internet and on Wide area networks. However, this option sends the most TCP/IP packets on your network. 2 - Use this value to have pcANYWHERE send a typical TCP/IP Broadcast packet on your network. This option sends less TCP/IP packets than value 1. Note: If your network router filters these Broadcast packets you will not be able access pcANYWHERE hosts thru this router. TCPIPQueryInterval - Usually this item will be used to limit network traffic. Sometimes the additional network queries to refresh the browse list will interfere with getting status lights or making connections. If the user is having a problem getting the status lights to turn green, change this value to a very high one such as 1000. Also, set this registry item to a high value, if the user is getting a message that a known ready host is busy when trying to connect to that host and UDP 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. This DWORD registry item allows the user 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. To add or modify these Registry entries, use the following steps: 1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE or REGEDT32.EXE) 2. Edit the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System 3. Create or edit the DWORD value with the TCP/IP browse option name. 4. Assign the desired value to the entry.
