Can this be sent from outside a router?
Like many people, I have a small home LAN behind a cable modem and home router that does NAT. I'm googling now to try to figure out whether the 'magic packet' can be sent from the internet at large. I've seen one indication that it can be done by setting up a static routing, for which I see an option on my router config page. Does anyone know how to set it up?
Incidentally, from the previous hint I found this great page:
http://www.dslreports.com/wakeup
which will send the appropriate 'magic packet' from an easy web interface. My only gripe is that the form is a POST, not a GET, so you can't just make one URL to do everything.

I just used it successfully from out of state. I ssh'd into the server on the LAN of the computer I wanted to wake. I scp'd the app to the server and installed it there. I then used it to wake the target computer. Fortunately, I was able to get the MAC address via my router admin app, which has an HTML gui you can use remotely.

Wake550 is a great app, it makes a finder service and works well. Note that you have to set the IP as a broadcast address (192.168.1.255) and the subnet as 255.255.255.255. I have not gotten the DSL reports wake on lan to work, whether behind a router/firewall or not. I admit to not having played that much with it though.
Use UDP protocol, forwarding port 9
After updating the firmware on my Linksys router, the port forwarding page now lets me select "Protocol UDP". |
