hey guys.
i would like to know if its possible to wake up my desktop computer
from another computer not in the same network.
is this possible? i found some guides in the internet instructing to put an ip address and mac address.
but it won't work.
note: i am working with static ip.
and i have edimax br-6204wg router.
thanks :)
It can be done, I managed it using a site called makeonlan.me, for some reason i cant get it to work any more, i cant remember full details but i had to forward a port on my router. Ill have a look when i get home see what i had to do.
I also managed it from my phone using a wake on lan app, im also using dynamic dns.
thanks a lot for you're help.
i know this site but i couldn't get it to work.
maybe its the port issue, i've seen it uses a 7 or 9 port.
just to be sure, you managed to do it while not connected to the same network right?
Correct, different network, i did it from work and from my phone whilst shopping.
OK so if you can, please tell me what exactly need to be done to do it.
thank you.
also, this should work also for sleep or hibernate mode, right?
I forwarded ports 7-9 to the ip of the PC i wanted to wake. I also had to enable wol in the bios. i think this is all i had to do.
Dxxs can you tell me which program you used?
forwarded ports 7-9.
can get it to wake only from internal network.
I didnt use any programs, i woke it using wakeonlan.me and an android app on my phone called wol(i think). will have another go after work and report back.
