Wake-on-LAN setup - ReadyNAS Ultra2
Hi! I'd like to set up my NAS (Ultra2) in a way that I could switch it on from remote location, using Wake-On-LAN. The NAS is behind a router that is behind a cable modem. I've enabled the option ...
Thanks! This is exactly what I did, and figured out that only the port forwarding was established in my router, but not the ARP for the NAS MAC addr and IP.
Now it is working fine.
But I have a general question regarding this topic: I am not sure if Ultra2 supports stg like "SecureOn" password, but in case not: is there any chance that someone can switch on my NAS accidentaly or deliberately from outside? I mean if only me who knows the MAC, then it is not possible, and the MAC cannot be intercepted outside my router, right?
Thanks!
