    Hi

     

    thanks for your reply.

     

    my ISP is not blocking port 9 (WOL) and even if I put the PC into the DMZ, it still does not receive the WOL packet via port forwarding.

    I am using a Cisco modem, not a modem/router so no place to change any settings.

     

    Any other ideas?

     

    Cheers

     

    Brendon.

Hi badler,

 

1. If your router is connected to gateway/modem-router, make sure you have the ports forwarded there pointing to the router IP.

2. Try using DMZ for the LAN IP you are forwarding the ports to as an isolation step.

3. Check with your ISP to see if they are blocking any ports.

 

Regards,

      Hi badler,

       

      NETEGAR home routers do not support WOL, unfortunately.
