![]() This part of Tom's post makes no sense to me: First my hardware/software is as follows:ġ) Desktop with Asus P6x58D Motherboard (supports WOL) - I read the Asus posts on WOL, set up the Bios appropriately.Ĥ.1) hardwired ethernet to router in case the bridge does not work. ![]() I am glad to hear that someone had success using WOL through the Cisco router, I want to join that elite group.įor two frustrating days I have been trying to get this feature to work with no success. So as long as the LAN computer has the listening port which matches the WOL GUI then it should work. It is using the external IP and subnet of the router. When you connect to the network from the internet, the computer you're using has no concept of what LAN computer it is trying to access (unless you specify the correct fields in the WOL gui). This will allow that packet through the router. The MAC address is what is important which is why I don't feel port forwarding is necessary. I assure you the network card nor BIOS of the computer is sleeping. Second rule is from WAN to LAN with permit the custom service from any source to any destinationįor a good measure, you can try to make a port forwarding, but give the access rule a try first. ![]() then make 2 access rules.įirst access rule is from WAN to LAN deny all services deny any source and any destination What you need to do is to tell the router to expect the service-type and just allow it. Even if a router did not discard a broadcast packet, the firewall will. Hi Loris, you are mistaken, if the computer was completely turned off, you would never be able to wake it.
