Wake On LAN -- through NAT router?
Has anyone figured out how to make WoL work through a broadband router performing NAT hiding? I've tried through both an SMC Barricade and an Airport Base Station, forwarding various ports to the desired Mac (TCP port 9, which is the 'discard' port, is what's suggested most often on websites covering the subject), with no luck so far. I can ssh into my Mac remotely, once it's awake -- it's just a matter of getting that special ethernet packet repeated through the router.

A NAT router only does IP, wheras the WoL packet has to be at the Ethernet layer (below IP), so you can't send it through a router.

Well, I'm able to wake my home machine from broadbandreports.com (http://www.broadbandreports.com/wakeup). According to traceroute, there are over 15 machines between them and my Mac. |
