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 ...
I just updated to 4.2.16 and WOL seems tb working for me so far - with no tweaks.
Haven't gone offsite yet to try it from there, but it's definately working within my home LAN.
FWIW, for iPhone/iTouch/iPad, there's an app called "iNet" that's working well for me. It's not cheap as apps go - about six bucks when all the dust settles - but the functionality is definately there.
Only caveat is that you have to buy it twice: the intro version (which lacks WOL) for a buck, then the "real" version for another five.
Once you that second version, you're good to go.

Just tried walking around the block, connecting via a neighbor's unsecured WAP, and issuing a WOL.
No-Go. Not knowing much about this stuff, I'm guessing it's something about the app not being able to make use of a dynamic domain service like DynDNS.org. Either that or my being too clueless to know how to tell the app to use said service....
Spent an hour or so looking through iPhone apps, but couldn't find one that both claimed to work over the internet and actually did so.
Closest seems tb "Wake", but perusal of recent reviews suggests the developer *tried* to implement the over-the-internet feature, but failed.

Found an app called "iNet Pro" by BananaGlue.de, which seems to be the real deal - i.e. they have a team working on it, not just some guy in his rec room after work. Current release as of this time is 2.02, but they have a 2.2 in the works that promises to do it all. Have been back-and-forth with the developers a couple of times, and they are both responsive and credable.
