Situation:
This document contains a list of registry values used to configure pcAnywhere versions 7.5, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 10.5. Some values will already exist in the registry. If you do not find the value, you will have to enter it into the registry manually.

TCP/IP settings

TCP/IP multicast settings

Value:	TCPIPMcastDataDelay
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	0 = (Default) value = delay in milliseconds
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

This value sets the delay in milliseconds between each send. This is useful if multicast error correction is disabled.
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastDataPort
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	0x15ff = multicast data port (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

This value selects the port that the multicast data is sent to.
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastErrorCorrect
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	0 = Error correction is off 1 = Not implemented 2 = Full error correction is on. (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

This sets the level of error correction used on the host. The host specifies which level of error correction the remotes will use. If you set this to 0, you should use TCPIPMcastDataDelay to slow the sends from the host to minimize the loss on slow remotes.
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastInterface
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	0 = Send from to the remote's network adapter other number = a different adapter
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Host

Use this registry item for a multi-homed, multicast host that is not binding to the correct network card. This can be why none of the remotes receive the multicast packets.

Each network card is associated with an IP address. By default, the host sends the multicast packet from the network adapter that the first remote connects from, if the remote uses a network connection. For instance, if the first remote connects over RAS, pcANYWHERE32 sends the multicast packets over the RAS interface. However, RAS does not route multicast packets. In this case, have the remote specify the host's network card address or use the registry setting to force the host to send from a particular network card.

To specify a particular network card, specify its number. For example, to force the multicast packet to be sent from the second network card, set this registry item to 2. Although the network card order is fairly stable, the order may change according to current DHCP and RAS status. To display the current network card order, run WINIPCFG.EXE for Windows 95, or IPCONFIG.EXE for Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastHostNumRecvBuf
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	100 = buffers (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

Value:	TCPIPMcastHostNumSendBuf
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	500 = buffers (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

Value:	TCPIPMcastRemNumRecvBuf
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	500 = buffers (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

Value:	TCPIPMcastRemNumSendBuf
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	100 = buffers (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

These registry values set the number of receive and send buffers when using an error correction multicast session. For slow remotes, a larger value may lead to less data loss.
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastMTU
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	1400 = (Default) 1400 - 10,239
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

This registry value sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) in bytes. The MTU is the maximum bytes that may be sent as one IP multicast packet. The largest supported value is 10,239. Do not set this value below its default of 1400 bytes.
------------------------

Value:	TCPIPMcastWSRecvBuf
Key:	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcANYWHERE\CurrentVersion\System
Type:	DWORD
Settings:	8192 = (Default)
Versions:	8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 10.5
Apply at:	Remote, Host

This registry value sets the size in bytes of the Winsock receive buffer. If error correction is off, set this value to 16384 bytes to minimize loss of data on the view-only remotes.
