Q:
What makes SpyAnywhere unique from other remote administration solutions?
A: SpyAnywhere is unique because it's client side is totally
web-based! This means you do not have to worry about having a client
program installed on your PC so you can communicate with the remote
machine. You can access your remote PC from any computer with an Internet
connection and a web-browser!
Q: How
Do I setup and configure SpyAnywhere?
A: You only need to be at the remote PC ONCE to setup SpyAnywhere!
SpyAnywhere is easily setup - just configure your password, your access
restrictions, and specify whether you want SpyAnywhere to load on Windows
startup in stealth mode.
Q: How
Do I access the remote PC?
A: Simple! Just open your web-browser (such as Internet Explorer
or Netscape) and type in "http://ip_address" - where ip_address
is the IP address of the remote PC you wish to connect to! From here
you will be presented with a login page where you enter your SpyAnywhere
password to access the control panel!
Q: How
Do I know the IP address of the remote PC?
A: SpyAnywhere can be configured to EMAIL YOU the IP address
of the remote PC everytime it changes. This allows you to ALWAYS have
the IP address for the target machine. This is especially useful if
you are monitoring a dialup-connected PC with SpyAnywhere!
Q:
How secure is SpyAnywhere?
A: 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.
Q:
What is the minimum configuration that is able to run SpyAnywhere?
A: 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.
Q:
How do I get the IP address of the PC if it is on dialup?
A: You can configure SpyAnywhere to deliver the IP address via
email every time the IP changes - just use the IP Delivery Via Email
feature!
Q:
Who will have access to SpyAnywhere?
A: 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.
Q:
How do I access my remote PC if it is behind a firewall?
A: 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
