Why would you use PC Anywhere when you have Windows 2000 server and XP
(Professional?) everywhere? Remote Desktop should give you everything you
need and built into what you already have.. What is it that you are using
that you need PC Anywhere for?

If you are trying to get to the computer from outside the router, you will
need to forward the ports through to the computer(s) in question and connect
either giving the port (except to the one that stays default (3389).)
