Wake-on-LAN configuration in campus network
Greetings,
I have a desktop PC(running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) connected to the internet via an ethernet cable in my office at my university. I use Teamviewer to remotely access this PC and I would also like to turn the computer on remotely by sending a Wake-on-LAN package. I have VPN access to campus network, yet I do not know how to configure WoL, as far as I know there are various methods for this and Teamviewer also offers some. Does anyone have experience with a similar configuration? I have a few questions such as:
- How should I proceed, do I need specific ports open for WoL to work?
- Do I need a static IP address?
- Should I be in the same network and/or connected to the same gateway?
- I enabled WoL from BIOS and Windows 7 settings. How can I check if it is really enabled?
- We also have a high performance computer grids running Linux which are always switched on inside the campus. Can we send the WoL package via these computers easily?
Please do not hesitate to ask for further information if needed.
Thanks in advance
