How to connect?
Top  Previous  Next


Before connecting to a remote PC you must ensure that Anyplace Control Host module is installed there and that remote PC is connected to a LAN or to the Internet.  

Connecting to a Computer on the Same LAN.

If both PCs (Host and Admin) are located in the same LAN the easiest way of connecting is either via PC name or via IP address. If you comply with the conditions stated above, please, do the following to establish connection with the Host PC:  
 
1. Start the Admin Module application on your computer using Start menu or desktop shortcut.  
2. Select "Direct Connection" tab.  
3. Click on the ADD NEW PC button for adding a new remote computer to the Address Book.  
4. Enter the remote IP address or click Browse and select target computer from Network Places.  
5. Use "Connect" button in toolbar to connect to the target remote computer; enter the Access Password of the remote Host computer if it is requested in the dialog.  
6. In the Remote Screen window press "Full Control" button in toolbar to control the remote computer.  
 
Note: if connection wasn't established, please, check whether connection is blocked either on local or on remote side by antivirus/firewall. You may need to enter both modules into antivirus/firewall allow list.  

Connecting via the Internet.

If you know the exact current IP address of the remote PC and know that this IP address is an external one, please, follow the instructions mentioned above to establish the connection with the remote computer. These instructions are both applicable for connections in LAN and over Internet.  
 
But in practice you don't always know the current IP address of the remote PC since it can be dynamical and change from time to time or it can be internal and not accessible via Internet. However such a situation makes no problem for Anyplace Control if you connect via Account Connection mode. In this case you don't need any IP addresses at all because connection is established in a very simple way - via Account name and PC name.  
 
For establishing connection with the Host computer using "Account Connection" mode you need to do the following:  
 
1. Start the Admin Module application through the Start menu or desktop shortcut.  
2. Select "Account Connection" tab.  
3. Click "Refresh" button to load the list of your Account online computers into the Address Book.  
4. Use "Connect" button in toolbar to connect to the target remote computer; enter the Access Password of the remote Host computer if it is requested in the dialog.  
5. Use "Full Control" button in toolbar to control remote computer in the Remote Screen window.  
 
Note 1: before connecting to the remote Host, please, make sure that it is already in your Account.  
 
Note 2: if the connection hasn't been established check whether the firewall/antivirus either on the local or on the remote side doesn't interfere with connection.  

Connecting via Internet to the network computers located behind a Router.

To control network PC behind the router via IP address, you should configure your router (port forwarding feature).  
Please read how to do it here… (http://www.anyplace-control.com/anyplace-control/help/faq.htm#Whycan'tIconnecttotherem)  
 
We inform that you require special technical knowledge to perform port forwarding procedure.  
 
Fortunately there is a more easy way to solve the problem. Use Account Connection (described above) and access the target PC via Internet without messing with IP addresses and other stuff. Please, read how to use Account Connection here…  

Problems with Firewall/Antivirus.

Some antiviruses and firewalls interfere with the correct work of Anyplace Control (you are unable to connect because of error 10060 or any of the kind). If you have faced this problem you need to add Anyplace Control into allow list.  
 
Connecting through the Proxy Server.

You will have problems with accessing target PCs via Internet if you are accessing the web from behind a Proxy server. We will provide you with ability to control remote PC from behind a Proxy server in the nearest feature. Keep to our latest releases.
