[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 425386, member: 49844"] Thanks Mr Montesa. Yeah my damn useless Netgear won't let me put in a directed broadcast into the translated address field. "maximum value = 254" :( What I need is some sort of relay agent (or a new router). Directed broadcasts look to be a bit dangerous though...... I'm wondering if there is some way to configure the NIC to listen to unicast packets as well as broadcast. That would be the ideal solution. I tried changing the NIC from "magic packet" to "pattern match" bur then every packet that went towards my HTPC woke it up :( The other possibility would be to setup the same script that's on the internet server on a "always on" web server inside my LAN, but that does generally defeat the purpose of using Powerscheduler on the HTPC in the first place. Talk about a Gordian Knot! I do have a trixbox running as a PBX..... maybe I could use that...... will keep on searching...... [/QUOTE]
