[Networking] Wake On LAN (WOL) works from within LAN but not ove

I had setup my Verizon FIOS Actiontec router (version D running firmware 4.0.16.1.56.0.10.14.4) to wake up my computer over the LAN/WAN few months ago using the steps described in:

Verizon Online FiOS FAQ »How do I enable Wake On LAN (WOL) with the MI424WR

This setup worked both from LAN and WAN (Internet).

I was trying to wake up my computer yesterday over WAN and it was not working. I have gone over the setup multiple times and all settings are in place, and yet I do not receive the magic packet from Internet. I installed a Magic Packet sniffer on my desktop, and it gets the packet when sent from another device on my LAN, but not when I send it over the Internet (DSL reports WOL page, for example)

Any suggestions to troubleshoot / fix this issue are welcome!

Have you re-entered the static ARP entry in the router? Maybe that got hosed somehow?

Yes, the ARP entry is there for 192.168.1.254 -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Today I tried to wake my computer remotely again over the Internet (WAN) from »/wakeup and it still did not work.

Then on a hunch I tried it from »www.wakeonlan.me/ ... and it worked!

So it seems my router setup is fine, it is sending magic packets from dslreports that has some issues.

Hi there, I'm trying to configure WOL also, and following the FAQ, where is the PROTOCOLS? In this step?
-------------
Now login to the Actiontec and Add WAKE-ON-LAN as a port forward protocol in the Actiontec:
Click on ADVANCED icon at top
Select Protocols --------------- I DO NOT SEE THIS
ADD (at bottom of list)
Service name: Wake-On-LAN
Add server port
-------------
I have the Rev. I (Gig ports), I see no Protocols anywhere. Can you help?
