hi, more of a software question this but might need some router config too maybe?

any way here goes
im looking for some software, or just simply a way to use wake on lan over the internet.

i use a netgear DG834G router and i can get wake on lan fully operational from within the network (internal lan) using the amd magic packet software (intel chips let me just point out lol) what i want is to wake up over the internet.

so far all my efforts have been in vain, i have visited several websites which claim to offer this from their site and have had no luck.

i have ports open to forward to the pc but no luck. there is also a piece of software called nsnetwork tools xp i think which claims to be able to wake on wan but i cant get hold of it.

does anyone have any resolutions?

many thanks to all people who can help.
 
u r a genius, i know u have to do that with the magic packet software i use but i never thought to set the router up with xxx.xxx.xxx.255.

ill try it later 2night and post bk results.

Hope it works
 
Nope it wouldn't let me set the inbound route to .255

anyone suggest any new routers?
i do like netgear tho.

or another way around this?
 
Any examples of these routers on OcUK? (Netgear Preferably)

I am tempted to purchase one with higher speeds (mine is only 54mbps)
 
hello again
i tried it along with some internet based packet senders (http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.aspx) and a few other i found
but still no joy. did a search for subnet calculators tho and xxx.128 limits ip locations to xxx.126 and xxx.127 IS the broadcast address, so the theory seems correct, so its proberbly the packet senders not interacting properly
any suggested software?
