We are attempting to set up Port Forwarding for PC Anywhere for more

using Ports 5633, 5634 and then tried using 5635 and 5636 when the
first ones didnt work.

What do you mean for more than one user? PCAW and port port forwarding on the NAT router on the PCAW ports to a LAN IP/machine that has the host running is only going to work for one user at a time only one user can be connected at any given time.

We made sure Port Forwarding was enabled. We
made sure we made the change of the port settings on the remote end of
PC Anywhere. We made sure the host was running on the computer we
wanted it to be on. To make sure there was not a problem with the
computer itself we used the default ports (5631 and 5632) and it will
allow us to access the computer.

So you have done this on a LAN situation behind the router and it works and you have no personal FW's active on the host machine. And PCAW is using its default port setting on the host and client machines.

We tried on multiple computers to
make sure it was not the computer itself. I am at a loss as to what
could be preventing us to use port forwarding. We thought it was the
Linksys router so we tried a different brand (Netgear) but that did not
solve our problem. Anyone have any ideas?


I would suspect that if you are changing ports to something else other than the norm of 5631 and 5632 on the host, then the client must be changed accordingly on the ports too. It can't be the host has been configured to use different ports that the client doesn't know about.

I think you have some kind of mis-configuration between the host and the client on the ports being used possibly and port forwarding on the NAT router has nothing to do with it.
