  SP2 adds in a firewall. If you already have a firewall installed that
is SP2 aware, then you probably won't need to make any changes.

  From a Symantec support note, if you have version 10.5 or newer, it
will update the firewall settings as needed if you log on as an
Administrator, start pcAnywhere, and answer a few prompts.

  Otherwise, here are a few articles on configuring the firewall with
PCAnywhwere:
