Question PC Anywhere through firewall/router

I have set up 4 PC's through a hub/firewall/router.
I wish to install PC Anywhere on all 4 PC's so that I can monitor them off site.
I have managed to install PC Anywhere on one PC to act as a host and am able to "dial" into it , but I am unable to see the other 3 PC's . How are the PC's invidually configured ? Or am I doing something wrong on the remote end ?

All advice welcome

Assume you have allowed the PC anywhere ports in the firewall/router? we had to do this to allow PC anywhere through our firewall.

I think you need to use different ports for each host PC, then configure the router to forward to port numbers to the correct PC. Not sure how you set the remote PC up so that you can choose which PC to connect to without having to keep changing settings though.

Alternate albeit dirty method that may work (not tried so don't know for sure) is to run each as a host. Forward ports from router to one PC, then when you have connected to it run PC anywhere remote on that PC to connect back out to the others.
