Wake on LAN over the internet
Hi All,
I know this been sent couple of times before . but i just want to clearify something about this WOL over the internet .
I have a NetGear-DGND4000. am not sure how good this is to do the above task.
but from looking around the internet I had a look on some toutorials. and this is what i been doing . corect me if i am doing something wrong.
1- created a static address for the WOL machine i want to wake up 192.168.0.50
2-forwarded port 9 UDP
3- and i've done al lthe checks and made sure that the computer is able to wake up with the special packet as the toutorial is saying .
but i have no luck waking the machine up over the net but on my LAN i am able to do it with out a problem .
link to one of the toutorials i been looking at : How To: Wake on LAN / Wake on WAN - Step 1 - Enable Wake on LAN - SmallNetBuilder
if there is another way to do this please let me know .
one more thing can my router be suported with DD-WRT if anyone knows .
Thank you
