to load on Windows startup in Listening mode - this will ensure
that SpyAnywhere is always running!

2. How do I access SpyAnywhere
on the remote PC?
Simply point your browser to http://remote_ip
and enter your SpyAnywhere password in the login area. Once
logged in you will have full access to the remote PC!

3. How secure is SpyAnywhere?
SpyAnywhere is secure as you want it to be.
SpyAnywhere can be configured to filter IP addresses so only
certain IP addresses are allowed access to SpyAnywhere. Make
sure you choose a unique IP address for SpyAnywhere as well!
You can choose to limit access as well to SpyAnywhere by disabling
features that you do not want to be used remotely - such as
remote file system browsing.

4. What is the minimum configuration
that is able to run SpyAnywhere?
All you need for SpyAnywhere is a Windows 9x/ME
machine. It does not require a web server, since SpyAnywhere
is its own HTTP server. The only thing you need to have running
on the machine is TCP/IP.

5. How do I get the IP address
of the PC if it is on dialup?
You can configure SpyAnywhere to deliver the
IP address via email every time the IP changes - just use
the IP Delivery Via Email feature!

6. Who will have access to
SpyAnywhere?
The only user that will have access to the SpyAnywhere
software, locally or remotely, is you - or whoever you give
the access password and ip address to. SpyAnywhere cannot
be terminated locally without your administrator password.
You can also configure SpyAnywhere so only certain IP addresses
can access the server.

7. How do I access my remote
PC if it is behind a firewall?
The easiest way to access a computer that is
protected by a firewall is to map one of the firewall's ports
to SpyAnywhere's port (default is port 80).
For example:
FIREWALL IP address: 172.120.0.1
SpyAnywhere machine: IP address: 172.120.0.10, Port: 1000
In this case, you should pick a port on the firewall (say,
4000) and map it to 172.120.0.10:1000
Having done the above, you will be able to access the computer
with the URL http://172.120.0.1:4000
