7800 DXL : Wide Area (internet) Wake on LAN possible?

Post by viewbyte »

Greeting all,
Is it possible to set up some form of subnet directed broadcast - or similar, using the 7800 DXL, to effect a Wake on LAN ('magic packet') wake up of a machine? WOL is set up and working for than machine within the LAN, but I'd like to extend this so wake up can be activated via the wider internet.

Thanks

Enable remote access for your router, then when needed access the router via the WAN IP, login and wake up the PC, make sure you have strong admin password set to the router

OK, I wondered if that was the only option - can do, thanks for your help.
