I have configured my SOHO (ver 5.1.6 software) to allow Symantec pcAnywhere
to be accessed from outside my network. Setup is as follows:

Service Name pcAnywhere

Protocol Settings Protocol Port
                        tcp 5631
                        udp 5632
    
Incoming Filter Allow
Service Host 192.168.111.2 (machine running pcAnywhere Host)
>From Any
  
Outgoing Filter Allow
>From Any
To Any

What tends to be confusing is the combo boxes / edit boxes to Add items to
the Protocol / Post / From / To lists. These are for data entry and have no
ultimate effect once the Protocol / Post / From / To lists are setup (this
was not initially obvious but finally figured it out with some trial and
error - the manual was essentially useless).

If you can get your hands on Microsoft NETMON (comes with Windows 2000
Server and SMS 2.0) then you can sniff the network traffic and make sure
that you don't need to open any other ports for this protocol.
