| 724777 | 2008-12-01 22:25:00 | Hey, So I've been trying to set up WOL (wake-on-LAN) and its almost fully functional but just got one little hickup :) Internally everything works fine! But over the Internet I cannot get my router (rta1320) to forward the magic packet to my internal broadcast address (192.168.1.255). Is there some setting or something that allows forwarding as broadcast? I cannot seem to find anything. I know this is the problem because when the computer I'm trying to wake up is already turned on it receives the magic packets over the internet. When its already on I can set up a port forward to its IP address, since it has one :), but when its turned off I cannot get the broadcast to work. Well hope this makes sense, thanks for your help.

| 724779 | 2008-12-01 22:54:00 | Yea it does as it works internally fine. The only problem is with the RTA1320 not sending out broadcasts, I've narrowed it down to that. | WarNox (8772) | ||
| 724780 | 2008-12-01 23:09:00 | First things first, try port-forwarding both ports 7 & 9, UDP. Secondly, start with port-forwarding direct to a single PC, make sure that works fine, THEN try forwarding to the broadcast, as the RTA1320 may not support it :) Good luck! Let us know how you go |

Let us know how you go I've tried forwarding port UDP:9 to a single PC, 192.168.1.150 -> the IP of the sleeping computer when awake :D and that works fine. I know the computer receives the magic packet because the WOL: Magic Packet Sender has the ability to 'listen' for magic packets while the computer is on. And it receives them fine if there is a port forward to 192.168.1.150, but not if port forwarded to 192.168.1.255 -> broadcast IP. I might try and email dynalink. |
