Hi, I don't get it! sorry. You said I should specify an address range. for instance my ip is 12.242.200.58. should I put x's instead of IP address to specify a range? Could you please bring an example
I've also downloaded the little program... it asks me for a port. How can I find out what port I should use in there? My computer's wake on lan is enabled and I know what my mac address is. My card also supports wake on lan. Thank you.
The example was for waking computers on a private IP address behind a router with NAT. Let's say you have the following setup:
A computer with an IP address 192.168.1.2, sitting behind a router
The router with a LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a WAN IP address of 12.242.200.58 (that was provided by your ISP's DHCP server)
Then you would configure the router to forward a UDP port to a broadcast IP address for your IP range - i.e. 192.168.1.255. Using the WOL utility I recommended, you can choose any port you like - so let's say you pick UDP port 12375.
Under the scenario you would configure the WOL utility as it appears in the image provided. | |

| Re: WOL Through Cable Modem and Router? I tried also to do it, and did what is explained in this topic, but it doesn't work for me. I have a 3com 812 router, private network 172.26.0.x with mask 255.255.255.240, so broadcast address is 172.26.0.15
I have put NAT to route UDP port 7 to UDP port 7 of the broadcast address.
It doesn't work. Any idea?

You can`t use x.x.x.255 (only to 254)by SMC 7004 VBR.

| Re: WOL Through Cable Modem and Router? Me too, I don't speak english fluently !
I have a server (windows 2000 server) and I tried to forward port UDP to the broadcast IP address, but it doesn't work. If I send magic packet from the server, the pc on lan wakes up ! but if I send it over internet, it doesn't work.
I'm using RRAS from windows 2000 server !
The ip address of the public interface is assigned by ISP DHCP server.
The ip address of the private interface is 192.168.0.1
So I tried to forwarding the following port
UDP 7 to 192.168.0.255
but the pc doesn't wake up ! I tested if the server received the magic packet, and it does ! but it seems that the PC doesn't receive the magic packet forwarded
Any idea ? | |

| Re: WOL Through Cable Modem and Router? I have A DSL/CABLE ROUTER(I use it for DSL) and you must configure your router(As someone stated above). And if you have an onboard NIC you might want to make sure its powered when the system is powered down(On my comp u can't tell by look at the LEDS if its powered or not).
Heres how my configuration looked when i got it to work.

| Re: WOL Through Cable Modem and Router? I've got a little bit of a weird set up from my ISP. When I trace my public IP from my comp, it looks like this:
1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.1 (router's IP)
2 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 172.19.24.150 (don't know what this is)
3 29 ms 13 ms 13 ms arizona.netbeam.net [216.58.148.244](public IP)
How would I go about setting this up?
Also, on my WAN IP is something weird like 10.1.1.2
Hope I provided enough info to get some help  | |
