This is how to wake your desktop over the internet via WRT54GS!

Assuming you've read how to configure the BIOS and Network adapter, this is what needs completed on the router.  If you search this subject you'll discover a gazillion threads about failure.  I tried hard for several weeks, only being able to wake it over my LAN, but never over the internet and then abandoned the whole idea months ago, but tried it again today with success.  I had my brother in law test the configuration from 500 miles away - Indiana to PA.  I Port Forwarded  and Port Triggered to port 1649 but you can select a different port.  I enabled  Wireless Access and Remote Management in Administration.  Months ago I believe I'd tried Port Triggering without the Administration settings and, with Administration settings enabled, without triggering.  Now the most interesting thing is after the initial test I re-enabled the routers Firewall and I was still able to wake the PC.  I also set up a rule in my software firewall to open port 1649.  I'm not sure that is necessary, since in theory the pc and the firewall are off.  Now my external IP is not static, however, it never, never, ever changes so all other settings were just default.  One thread I read one time was a person could only wake the PC in the first 30 seconds after shutdown.  I haven't tested that problem.  I'm also going to retest Port Triggering without Wireless Access and/or Remote Management enabled.  Give it a try and good luck!
I edit!  So I just woke it up without Wireless Access and Remote Management enabled or the port open in the software firewall.  I went through a VPN tunnel, however, not 100% sure that is a valid test.  It would seem that triggering and not just forwarding maybe the key!

Hi Jasbryan,
If RV220W doesn't forward UDP to a broadcast address, could you ( i.e. Cisco) provide a tools for sending WOL Magic Packet to the LAN on Router Device Manager page?
I see many routers also provide this tools from their manager page.
Thanks.

  • How to Enable Wake On Lan over the Internet??

    Hi, I am using RV220W with the latest firmware, I want to make "Wake on LAN" work for my NAS, I found the following description on Internet:
    "If you wish to use Wake On Lan over the internet you will need to set up your destination firewall/router to allow "Subnet Directed Broadcasts". Most routers and firewalls disable this option by default.
    You will then need to allow traffic through on your firewall/router on a specific port. The choice of ports is up to you."
    So how can I enable "Subnet Directed Broadcasts" on RV220W??
    Thanks.

  • Accessing my Time Capsule hard drive over the internet via iCloud doesn't work.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have an iCloud account and read recently, that it is possible to acces the hard drive of an Time Capsule over the internet, if "Back to my Mac" is activated on my MacBook an the Time Capsule.
    I updated the Time Capsule to Firmware Version 7.6.1 and the Airport Utility to version 6. Actually the Time Capsule HDD is displayes in Finder's Sidebar, when I'm using a forreign internet connection. But when I click on it an error message tells me that a connection to the server (I assume server=Time Capsule) cannot be established. Funnily enough I can access the HDD of my iMac at home.
    The Time Capsule network setting is "Bridge Mode" Since I can't deactivate the DNS functionality of my router/mode, an easybox 803 A, unfortunately which I cannot replace, because it is also used for hosting the telephone.
    Does anybody have an idea, where the problem could be? Wrong settings in the Time Capsule config or maybe the blocking by the router?
    Thank you all in advance,
    Markus
    Please consider, that I have absolutely no idea of networking.

    I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
    1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
    2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
    3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
    4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
    5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
    There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

  • Wake my iMac over the Internet

    I am sure has been asked before and I have searched but can't find anything that has helped me so far.
    I have an iMac with logmein client installed and running.
    My mac goes to sleep after 15 mins
    I want to wake my mac from work at lunch time and remote in to it via logmein
    I have a time capsule an use airport for my wireless network and Internet configuration
    I have tried port forwarding udp 9 to the internal address and using a WOL client on my iPhone but the iMac doesn't wake
    If I try this when ago home on the same network it works fine
    I have read somewhere that the mac will wake when you attempt to connect to a service that it is running for example, http.
    I don't have http running so this won't work for me
    I don't have any others computers on the network that I can use to wake the mac
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Mark

    have you looked in the energy saver pane of the system preferences? click the options tab there is an option for wake for ethernet network adminstrator access
    this checked will wake your computer from sleep or even if you computer is off, i think

  • I can Wake over the Internet with WRT54GS v2 and Tomato Firmware perfectly!

    However, this router won't last forever.  Do any of the new routers allow Port Forwarding to a broadcast address, which is necessary for Wake on WAN because of ARP release and renew?  Just spent the week on vacation and several different issues came up which made accessing my desktop at home advantages without having to leave it on all the time.  Thank You

    Well now a days all the linksys router has a port forwarding feautre. You can think about N Series Router ( WRT150N, WRT300N, WRT400N, WRT600N).

  • Can I Remote Control or Shadow another Mac's desktop over the internet?

    If so, how?
    I am our families tech support for all technology needs. We dumped our home PC a year ago for a Mac. Told the fam that my support skills are aging and they'd have to switch to a mac for continued support
    Yikes, the sister is going to take the dive this week. I will for sure need to help her out. Is there a way to remotely support her with native Apple tools?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thx,

    Ok, mom got a mac last night. I read up on the screen sharing. This looks like it's geared to screen sharing on the local network. When I shared my mac out, it gave me a 192.168 address. This is a private, NAT'd address so this won't be routable.
    I hope I'm missing something really easy... Any easier way to do this?

  • Access Time Capsule over the internet

    Hey guys! I have a problem. I cannot access my Time Capsule over the internet.
    I have a Time Capsule 2013 which connects to the internet using a PPPoE connection and which provides wireless connection to other peripherals in my house.
    The TC is running the latest firmware and I've added my iCloud account in AirPort Utility settings, in order to access the TC over the internet, via Back to My Mac.
    Whenever I'm away from home, I cannot access the TC.
    I see it in Finder's sidebar, but whenever I press the "Connect As.." button I get the following error:
    "There was a problem connecting to the server “Time Capsule”.
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    I must add that I have a dynamic IP. Whenever the Time Capsule restarts, it gets a different IP.
    Am I missing something?
    Please help me. It's really important for me to be able to reach it when I'm away from home.

    So the modem is bridged and the TC is doing the PPPoE authentication.. and it gets a public IP on the WAN interface.
    The dynamic nature of the IP is not a problem with the BTMM and iCloud type system which should keep the intermediate connection in the cloud up to date.
    What about the connection at the other side.. are you getting a public IP.. are you behind a firewall or restricted access? Remember both sides of this have to work.
    See this thread.. you are not alone.. all is not sweetness and light unless you get a proper business account with static IP.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
    Apple info has a bit about issues that people experience.. and Tesserax has some setup info.
    Remote Access
    I would use the public IP and see if it works.. that means you need to check the IP before you leave home or use your phone tether and do the test at home so you can type in the public ip and use direct access .. at least to test it.

  • Saving an Image to an Oracle Database over the Internet

    I would like to know how to transfer an image over the Internet and save that image to an Oracle Database. That is I am trying to make it so that a user can connect to the Internet and select an image file form their PC in TIFF, JPEG, or some other format. Next, I would like to save this image to an Oracle 7.3.4 Database in a LongRaw data type. This image will need to be save into a certain record in a table that I created. In the next few months we will be upgrading to Oracle 8 that uses Blob data type. Any one who knows how this can be done, please let me know.

    Yes, that's right. Here is the pertinent code:
    In the flax app:
    private function captureImg(imgEnc:IImageEncoder):void { 
    var ohSnap:ImageSnapshot;ohSnap = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(img, 0, imgEnc);
    textArea.text = ImageSnapshot.encodeImageAsBase64(ohSnap);
    InsertImage(textArea.text);
    In the HTTP service AS module:
    private  
    function InsertImage(sImageCoded:String):void { var sQry:String;sQry =  
    "INSERT INTO image (lImageId, blbBitMap, txtImage, lRecipeId) " sQry +=
    "VALUES(0, '" +sImageCoded +"', 'text', 23)"  
    //Alert.show(sQry);mysqlQuery(sQry,
    "InsertImage");}
    As mentioned previously, an HTTPrequest error is generated although I can enter
    the string into the blob manually in MySQL.

  • I want to be able to remotely access my lion server over the internet how do I do this after installing lion server

    i have a mac mini with lion server, I just want to be able to access it over the internet and upload and download files to it like my windows server, but I dont have a clue how to go about even starting this process

    Im guessing you simply want to know what tool to use to access it. Meaning you access with your windows box with remote desktop - the mac equivalent of that is "screen sharing"
    step 1: enable screen sharing on the mac server:  system pref -> sharing -> screen sharing
    step 2: forward needed ports if behind a router (off the top of my head I believe its port 5900)
    step 3: depending on what type of machine you're trying to access from... if from a mac, finder -> go -> connect to server ->  vnc://ip_address_or_domain_name  ------ if from a windows or linux box you'll need to get a VNC client (see google for those)
    good luck and hope this helps

  • How do I control my airport extremes/time capsules w/airport utility over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function.

    How do I use airport utillity with Time Capsule(or any airport extreme) over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function. The mac's that I have not upgraded to icloud still see my routers over the internet with mobile me enabled.  Are these routers obsolete now or will there be a firmware update to use icloud?

    i want to do the same. i tried entering my @me.com account and does not work, but if I tried to go to icloud.com and using my @me.com works
    why?
    does the Airport express needs to be upgraded as well

  • When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, how can I upgrade?

    When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS form Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, what is causing this problem, how can I find a solution, is someone else having this problem?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.
