Hmm. So here's an idea: try making that static ARP entry point to the broadcast MAC: "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF". This is a very strange and generally inadviseable thing as if it works, it will let someone on the internet create broadcast traffic on your LAN. However it would be an interesting test to do, although it is possible that your router will (justifiably) refuse to send the packet to the broadcast MAC via a static ARP entry. However if it works then maybe firewalling that port to only allow your remote IP to reach it would be acceptable to you. Another thing to try would be to use a port redirect to send it to the broadcast IP, usually X.X.X.255. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31850 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
