TCP or UDP shouldn't make a difference, and you're probably better off w/ TCP if the packet travels over the Internet. What your router does, I wouldn't know; But a common mistake is to direct the packet to the computer's address instead of the LAN's broadcast address: after a little while, the router forgets the IP and MAC address of the sleeping computer. So it doesn't know where to forward the packet to. A symptom of this would be that sleep/wake works within a short delay, like 10 seconds, but doesn't work with a larger delay like 2 hrs. So directing the WOL packet to the LAN broadcast address (which never gets deleted) is better. If the router agrees, of course. (every machine will receive the packet, but only one that has the matching MAC will wake-up. You won't wake the whole network.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96595 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
