Help

Wake-On-LAN:
This page allows you to Wake Up hosts on your local network (i.e. locally connected to your router). You can manually wake up hosts by clicking the Wake Up or you can program an automatic schedule wake up thanks to the WOL daemon.

You would log on to the router from the internet using Https and a strong password. and use the dd-wrt gui to wake the specific box.....

Hope that helps

Epi.

I am using DD-WRT v24-sp2 (09/24/09) vpn on a Buffalo WRT54G/GL/GS router which is running openvpn server. The router is set up so that I can, with my N810, log in to the router via wlan/lan or connect to my local network via openvpn.

So with such a set-up I can wake up a box on my local network (with WOL) via the router wake on lan settings (without using openvpn) or do it via openvpn.

It took some time to set my system up but it works like a charm.

Some links that may be of help in setting it up.

Thanks guys. I got the router up and running. I was using v23 pre SP1 even. Upgraded it to v24 SP1 as I didn't want to use a not fully stable build.

Got it all up and running, and it SHOULD be working. But when I go in to trigger the WoL/Magic Packet, a lot of times the computer just ignores it. With the computer on, I used wireshark to ensure the packets are going out. They are.

It's really kind of wierd. Sometimes it works, and the computer wakes up, but the majority of the time it ignores the packet.

Anyone have any ideas. (I've tried with only except magic packets, and without checked in windows.)

can you put in another network card/driver to rule out an unreliable network card?
