It was a router thing, most consumer routers don't support this no matter what you do. The old way off doing this was to portforward port 7 or 9 to the routers broadcast address example 192.168.1.255 this is not supported by for example Netgear WGT624v3 So i changed to a linksys WRT54GL and loaded it with with a third party firmware, in my cause "Tomato" but there are many more aviable. The WRT54GL is practically an open source router ? does anyone use the factory firmware ? Anyhow it is configurable so that you can log on to router remotely and then start up selected device or key in a MAC and like magic it boot's :) This ads and extra layer of security, you don't have open the .255 address to the world, and of course you have set a password to your router :) In the Tomato firmware you choose remote admin to use https for added security. Another precaution would be to make sure that your ordinarie desktop is not wol capable, only the server machine that has Squeezecenter -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45833 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
