Actually, when sending WOL packet over internet, we need the ability to
specify a specific port to send it to for the url/ip address & mac
address.  Because the WAN router firewall needs to enable a specific
port to accept external WOL packets and forward to.  

So in settings, it would be great to be able to specify the following:
MAC Address:   xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
WOL Port: _____(up to 5 digits or if left blank use default)

if I filled in 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 and port 9 (or whatever the WAN
firewall has setup to port forward to), then when you send a wol packet,
send it to the server address (either internal ip or external ip/url)
with the mac address above and port 9.  The WAN modem/router would then
need to setup port forwarding for anything external to port 9 and
forward to the internal broadcast ip address (192.168.1.255 or 254, etc)
which then would send that packet to all pc's in the LAN.  This prior
sentence is a WAN/LAN router requirement as far as I can tell.  

The way iPeng currently works of sending the WOL packet to the url of
the server and port 9000, does not get forwarded to the server pc behind
the WAN firewall if the server is external internet addressed and does
not wake the machine up now.  It does work properly if ipeng is
connected to the wifi of the lan behind the router, and is internally
routed and does wake the pc up properly however.

Regarding Pandora, the problem is happening when using SC.  Not sure if
it is a problem in SN.

Thanks
