RDP & Wake on Lan from internet

gurusan · 9 Dec 2009 at 08:47

Ok so I'm a bit confused on how to get this working.

I want to be able to wake up my sleeping computer remotely from anywhere on the net, and use RDP.

I am running Win7 and have a DG834GT....unsure of how to do this? :confused:

Don't have a set of instruction but check out:-

If you have a Iphone you can something like "Wake on Oui" amongst others to generate "magic packets.

wolgui is what i use. You'll need the pcs mac address and an unused port. Forward that port on the router.

Some routers don't forward broadcast traffic, which this is.
