Re: WoL WRT54G over the Internet

Phil - I followed your lead and did the same. It is now working for me. What remote WoL program or website do you use?

The steps I took, in case anyone else wants to do this are:

1) Router: Linksys WRT54G V2, V4.3 Firmware. Download DD-WRT V23 MINI version.

2) Follow DD-WRT instructions for udating the firmware. I use the Linksys WRT54G firmware and not the generic firmware.

3) Then, I followed DD-WRT's WIKI on WoL and how to modify the ARP table rules. See Phil's link up above.

4) I tested it last night and this morning, using the WoL site that DD-WRT recommended.

Next steps:
- Try to get my Depicus WoL batch file to work if possible
- Tinker with enabling the router firewall to ensure WoL will still work

Thanks all.

I am using the Depicus WoL tool for Windows: »www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake···gui.aspx

I like this method because it allows me to choose the port and I can use my domain as opposed my IP.

Glad you got it working.

Phil -

Once again thanks. However, I can only get the following site to perform WoL:

»stephan.mestrona.net/wol/

The format is that the mac address is in the xx:xx:xx:xx

And I enter the IP address xx.xxx.xx.

For the sake of me I can't get other WoL tools to work, including the one you suggested? What format are you entering the information?

The following settings are the Depicus tool I mentioned earlier:

Mac Address: 12-34-56-78-90-AB (it can be : delimited as well)
Internet Address: I use my dyndns.org domain name (phil.dyndns.org)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255
Send Options: Internet
Remote Port Number: 9

I orginally had my subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and it did not work. Changing it 255.255.255.255 got it working.

The dashes and the .255 solved it.

Thanks.
