Paul,

Not sure if it helps, but when I connect from home (via dialup) I also
couldn't see my networked LaserJet. I have to give my laptop a fixed IP and
add a new port with the printer's IP address e.g. port was named
IP_200.200.200.9.

Our corporate network assigns IP addresses via DHCP so I assume I could
create a discontinuity between my connection over the corporate WAN and my
own LAN with the printer.

Even though you can't "see" your other computers on your own LAN,
you may find you can still connect to them via pcAnywhere (something about
being in the same domain ?).

Dunno if that helps you but it worked for me :-)

Cheers,

Tim.
