Wake a Mac from a PC and vice versa
I'm having a problem getting remote wake to work thru an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
I've got my cable modem connected to the WAN port on the AEBS, and a PowerMacG4 connected to the LAN port. Using several LAN utilities, I can wake the G4 over the LAN without problem. However, this has not been successful when trying to send a wakeup packet over the internet. The AEBS will not allow me to forward the wakeup ports to the subnet broadcast address (x.x.x.255); I can forward only to the LAN IP address of the G4 (10.0.1.2). Is it necessary to forward to a broadcast address (x.x.x.255)? Any suggestions as to what's going on here? TIA, ---
