Wake-On-LAN: Anybody Got It Working?

I use this : http://magicpacket.free.fr/ Works fine if I use Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0 and UDP on Port 9, but I am using this on a local network, not via the Internet.

I'm not getting anywhere.

In in FrontView | Services | Standard File Protocols, I have all the protocols except Rsynch enabled.

Tried doing TCP/IP instead of UDP, but kept getting "The requested address is not valid in its context 255.255.255.255.9 - using a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0.

Then I switched to a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and things seemed to improve.

Sending a packet with the box turned on, I got a dialog saying that the box had actively refused the packet.

Sending it again with the box off, however, I got "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 192.168.0.121:9.

Switching back to UDP with 255... I get no response at all.

Reading viewtopic.php?f=24&t=38795, it sounds like I need to do some work on my router for the TCP/IP flavor to work - or even spring for another router (mine is a LinkSys WRT310N, and it does not appear to have native WOL support.... and the mods I've read about so far are way, way, waaaaay above my pay grade).

Stay tuned...
