But I have some problems. I can't wol remotely, I mean from outside my LAN. I have 2 routers: a Comtrend which recieves Internet and a D-Link which creates the LAN my computer to wol is in (I won't explain why I have this situation, too long for now).

I'm sure I'm redirecting ports correctly from the Comtrend to the D-Link and that my computer is receiving the packets as I achieve connecting by SSH from outside with my N900. But I can't Wake On LAN from outside with this application. I'm redirecting port UDP 9 (though I also tried 9 TCP/UDP). I have no problem inside the LAN.

I also have to say that a friend of mine can WOL my computer from another city, so my PC is also well configured.

In this application, I enter my host xxxxx.xxxxx.net. It founds as if I enter an invalid host I receive a "Host not found" message. Instead, I receive "Couldn't find mac address for host" and shows my external IP (so it resolves my host name). I don't know if it has somenthing to do with the automatic discoverying of the MAC or with the 2 routers situation. I think is the first one as I can WOL in other ways than this application.

My suggestion: Could there be a change on the Cute Wake On LAN so that you could enter host and MAC and not only one of them (as I do in Ubuntu to WOL remotely, for example), so there's no problem in finding the MAC? Connection could be saved the same way as it does now, but saving also the MAC for the host.

Thanks and sorry for such a long text
The application will not be able to find the mac address through the router. To send the "magic packet" to an IP (host) in addition to broadcasting to the local LAN I will have to change the application. I am not quite sure it will be enough though. I will have to research a little first. I will let you know so you can test when I am done.
