Hi Prachka,

If you know the IP address you want to connect to, simply add that IP into the Remote connection under the Settings tab

Thank you for the answer, but I am not sure what do you mean exaclty. This is what I've tried:

1) Selected "Remotes" on the left menu
2) Right clicked on "Network, Cable, DSL" and selected "Properties" from popup menu
3) Selected "Settings" tab
4) Specified the IP address I want to connect to in "Network Host PC to Control or IP address" field, clicked OK
5) Right clicked on  "Network, Cable, DSL" and selected "Start Remote Control" 

the result was exactly the same I was getting before: "Scanning Network for the TCP/IP hosts" message and then a window with empty TCP/IP hosts list. For me looks like it's still doing a subnet scan, which I don't need. One of the computers behind the router is using standard pcAnywhere ports, so I expect to connect to that computer right away without any subnet scans. Is there a way to turn subnet scan off?

On the Connection Info Tab do you have the Connect through Gateway or Access Server checked?  If so then it would shed some light on what is happpening, because the steps you have provided above are the correct steps to directly connect to the IP of the machine in question.   

I would create a fresh remote to eliminate that this remote connection is corruptes.

1. Confirm you are in advanced view by going to the view menu and makeing sure it doesn't say Go to Advanced view.
2. Select Remotes in the pcAnywhere Manager on the Right
3. Select File
4. Select New Item
5. Select Advanced.
6. then confirm that the ports are set correctly on the sonnection info page under Details.
7. Make sure that the Connect through Gateway  or Access Server check box is not checked.
8. on the settings tab confirm that the external IP is enterend in the Network Host PC toControl or IP address field.
9. Click OK 
10. Give it a name like connection to Machine In Question.
11. then double click the Remote.

This will eliminate the option of having a corrupted remote.

I can not find this option anywhere:

--> Make sure that the Connect through Gateway or Access Server check box is not checked.

Maybe option is missing because I am using old pcAnywhere version (11.0)? I did all the other steps except that missing option and created a new remote with the same result. Here is how my connection info and TCP/IP settings look like. I checked other tabs, there is no that option too.

My mistake I have an newer version I guess that feature was added after 11.  Can you connect to either of the 2 machines?  It sounds like a router issue but I don't understand the scanning step it should talk directly to the machine if you have set it that way.

Cheers.

Thank you for clear answer Ettore, this address is given me by my ISP, so maybe if I shut down router for overnight it will change it's IP.
