I'm trying to configure WOL to work over the internet. I've got it working over the local LAN.
I've followed this guide: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16041 exactly, and I am still unable to get it to work. I have a wake-on-lan monitor running on my computer, and it doesn't get any activity. However, in my security log on the router, I see that it acceppted my WOL traffic and forwarded it to 192.168.1.254:9. Turning off the computer, it doesn't boot either (in case my monitor wasn't working or something). The WOL monitor does detect the magic packets when I send them over LAN.
To me, it sounds like something is off in the router broadcasting correctly. I check the ARP table for the custom entry I made, and I see it there (192.168.1.254, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, network (home/office) for device). The custom port forwarding rule is there with single UDP port 9 forwarded, and my firewall rule shows up. Yet I still can't get it to boot over internet.
Anyone have any experience with getting this to work or troubleshooting? I just got FiOS last week, and had this working with my old ISP. My router is the MI424WR-GEN3I with firmware 40.21.10.2. It's connected Coax.
Thanks!
