Wake-On-LAN: Anybody Got It Working?
Seems like WOL is the only game in town for remote recovery from a power failure ==> graceful shutdown in response to UPS. I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what. Using Fusion's "FUSION ...
Sorry if this isn't very helpful but I spent some time on this myself --
I have CIsco E3000 router and wanted to get WOL working, simple enough. Set it on in my BIOS, on in the network adapter properties, read some tips online about the port and although it doesn't seem to matter I created a port foward in my router settings anyway -- to go to 192.168.0.127 --
Set my router subnet to 255.255.255.128 -- my router is set on 192.168.0.1 instead of 1.1 also... and then when i do a WOL client broadcast to 192.168.0.127 on port 5555 (i have a forward in the router to .0.127. on port 5555) that way you send the packet on subnet 255.255.255.255 to the correct MAC address and it will work
ANyway once I use the WOL client to send the magic packet -- it only works that way with the "Local internet" option selected , not "internet" externally.
Then I went into the E3000's settings under 'Security' and found an option checked "Filter anonymous internet requests" -- I disabled that option and once i did that -- then both local and external internet Wake on LAN was working for me....
Since then - I did not change anything but for some reason I can't get it to work over Internet again.
Cannot figure out why. It still works over Local internet when I am testgin from home on my network but over internet its not seeing it anymore - that Security setting is still the same and nothing else changed. Any help would be welcome
