All you need is the ip address and the user name and password. Did you set these up on the "host" machine? And did you start pc anywhere in the "host" mode on the server?

With pc anywhere you have to create a server package and install that onto the machine you want to connect to. You then use the Client part of PC anywhere to connect to the server you have set up on the other machine.

However I would recommend using Real VNC from

http://www.realvnc.com

it is free and works on all major platforms. It is also open source so can be customised if needed. It is also dead easy to set up.
