Wake On LAN - How Do I Create a 'Magic Packet'?
Hi Guys
I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus connected to the network via Netgear homeplugs to a Billion 7800n router and want to know how I can make a 'Magic Packet' to wake up the Ultra 4 plus from it's slumber.
Is it just creating a string with the MAC address and IP of the ReadyNAS and making a internet shortcut?
If so, how do I construct the URL?
