Wake a Mac form a PC and vice versa
My iMac G5 is behind a Netgear router at my home. I've forwarded port 9 to the iMac and done everything in this article, but I still cannot get the iMac to wake from sleep remotely. I know this isn't a lot of info to go on, but I'll provide other info if anyone has suggestions. Please help! =)

Have you tried waking the computer while it is actually on and running tcpdump? You should see the wakeup packets come in. Then if you do not see them, you need to work on the router.

In the thread where this topic started at the apple discussion forums I pointed out that the way to remotely wake a mac from outside your LAN is to ssh into your LAN to an ssh server you leave up 24/7 and then from that server you can issue a CLI command to wake up any sleeping computers on your local network.
Presuming you know how to set up SSH and use the terminal should have no trouble using wake on lan

Try forwarding port 9 to the broadcast address of your local network. This ends in 255. So if your local network ips start out 10.0.0., then you would forward port 9 to port 9 on 10.0.0.255

Wake a Mac from a PC on Port 9
The Wake on LAN tool works very well with my DSL-Modem (Zyxel 650ME). All I had to do is forwarding port 9 to my Mac's IP. It looks like: Forwarding port 9 to port 9 on (internal) IP address 192.168.1.2 |
