looking for some suggestions to troubleshoot the Wake-On-Lan feature that
I am trying to use. Here are some specs and what I have done so far.
mobo is a Gigabyte 8INXP
I'm on a home network with a linksys wireless B router (although I plan
to use this from outside this network (obviously)).
machine that I am trying to turn on is hardwired with a static ip of
192.68.1.2
I have made sure the option is on in the bios
I have redirected port 9 (UDP) to my static connection, on the router.
I have opened the same port in Windows firewall (although I don't know if
this was really needed).
I have used the right MAC address (optained through running 'ipconfig.exe
/all' on the computer I am trying to wake).
This is where I got the Wake-On-Lan GUI that I am using;
'http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.asp'
I've tried to wake it up on both the subnet and the internet setting;
I'm assuming that the subnet will be used for when I am inside my home on
the network and internet whan I am not.
The only thing that I can think of is a connection on the motherboard
that I do not have. I had read somewhere about needing a power
connecter, but the LAN connection is onboard with this mobo, so I didn't
think that that would apply. Am I wrong.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx,
Andrew
