WOL problem on NVX
I am trying to use the WOL function on a NVX If the NAS powers down, either by pressing the power button or using the built in power timer, then the WOL works if the packet is sent within a few min...
In my case I want to wake up multiple devices. Since my router won't forward port 9 to a broadcast LAN address, your method would not work for me.
Though since I am ok with leaving the main NAS up 24x7, what I do instead is use the Pro's WoL add-on. That uses http to tell the Pro to send the magic packet. I already forward http to the NAS (using a non-standard port), so nothing new needed to be done there. I have browser bookmarks for each device, so it is easy to wake them.
BTW, I am not sure why you needed to do the ARP binding for this???
