Wake a Mac from a PC and vice versa
Authored by: aquarajustin on Sep 09, '05 12:47:13AM

bukweet,

Forward port 9 to 10.0.1.2 on your AEBS. Try http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.asp and for the values, try the following:

Your Network Cards Mac Address: Your G4's (10.0.1.2) MAC address.

Any Computers Ip Number: Your external facing IP, if you don't know it, try http://whatismyip.com

Your Subnet Mask: You need to specify 255.255.255.255. bluehz has the right idea, but the script is actually only sending the magic packet to the single IP address specified in "Any Computers Ip Number" above, it's not broadcasting at all. Once the magic packet hits your AEBS (on port 9), it will route the traffic to your G4.

Any Port Number: 9

Maybe you've fixed it by now, it's been 7 months. Let me know.
