on the e-Surveiller port to the Monitored Computer.
If the
Monitored computer is behind a router, you may
also consider forwarding the e-Surveiller port
from the router to the Monitored computer.
See Firewalls
and Routers.
NOTE:
The Connect through a different
port option is used in complex scenarios;
such as if the monitored computer is behind a
router, and a different port on the router is
forwarded to the e-Surveiller port on the Monitored
computer.
