[QUOTE="Aiydee, post: 835122, member: 118273"] I'm not 100% on this, so please correct me if I'm wrong. WoL works on MAC addressing, not IP Addressing. Might want to disable the port forwards. The logic should be that MAC address + magic packets (yes. They are called Magic Packets) hit router/switch. This gets 'broadcast' to the entire network. Only the addressed (MAC) NIC responds, and sees a magic packet arrive on a specific port. So, try disabling the port forwards as my first suggestion. For WOL you shouldn't need port forwards. ALSO. Ensure WoL is enabled in the network card configuration. You will find it in the advanced settings of the card (Typically). Most current network chipsets support WoL. Make sure you have the latest network card drivers too. As a test, look for the free commandline utility WOLCMD. Run it on another PC (You will need to do it in command prompt, and you will need the mac-address of the 'asleep' PC for reference). This will help you isolate the phone and get a near guaranteed wake packet sent. Good luck and I hope my reply helps in some way. AD [/QUOTE]
