PC Anywhere has some serious drawbacks to utilizing it through a firewall.
It opens up a lot of issues. 

I have had little to no luck utilizing PC Anywhere through a Checkpoint FW-1
firewall and as noted in BugTraq, there are issues with authentication.

If you wish to discuss this further, contact me via eMail.
