Hi all,

I'm having real problems getting WOL to work. I suspect it may be a
problem with my modem more than anything else, but I'm not all that
clear on how WOL is meant to work with the Duet.

As I understand it, in order to wake my computer from standby (it's a
wired connection and the NIC definitely supports WOL) I should press
the button on the front of the Squeezebox receiver, right? This button
shows blue when my computer is in standby mode. I do usually have the
Squeezebox controller switched off - would this be a problem?

I've updated to the latest firmware version (7.2 - 22900 @ Tue Aug 26
11:27:23 PDT 2008 - Windows Vista - EN - cp1252) but still no joy. I'm
pretty sure that I have the settings for the NIC correct but here they
are in full:

"Shutdown Wake on Lan" : disabled
"Wake on Lan capabilities" : "Pattern match and Magic Packet"
"WOL and Shutdown link speed" : 100Mbps first

I have read that I should try setting my router to forward UDP packets
on port 9 to my LAN's broadcast address (192.168.1.255) but I can't do
this on my router (Linksys WRT160N) as it only allows you to forward to
IP addresses 0-254... I have tried setting it to forward port 9 to the
static address of the computer in question but no joy there.

Can anyone help with this? I'd really like to get this up and running
but am feeling really stuck...

Many thanks,

Dan
