Wake over LAN

Since updating to X.6.8 my MP has problems waking remotely. I'm connected to my router by Ethernet.
I haven't tried all that much to resolve this as I'm not aware there is anything else but the wake over LAN checkbox to enable this service. I have tried unchecking the box and re-checking it, I've also tried restarting my router and setting a different length of time before the MP goes to sleep.
Oddly enough I can wake the MP if I try a little time after it goes to sleep, but if I leave it for several hours it won't wake.
It isn't just one situation/application that won't wake it either, my Apple TV won't, shared devices from the finder on other macs won't and other services like the Apple remote app and eyeTV app from the iPhone won't either.
Any thoughts.

hoping someone can help me here, as I want to accomplish WOL in my workplace. I'm in a building that has a central router that divides the internet into 4 different offices (into jacks in the wall). The central router is a linksys befsr41 that I don't have access to because it belongs to the property manager. The central router's ip address is 192.168.1.1 This router is not wireless, but I need wireless in my office, so I have my wrt54gc in my office to use with my tablet pc. I've gotten my computer to wake up no problem over LAN at home, over WAN at home (from remote location), but when I'm at my office (2 routers chained together) I don't know what I need to do to get it to work consistently. So my questions are: 1. What settings, if any, do i need to change on the central router? Do I need to port forward to the IP of MY router (or my CPU)?? 2. Same question for my router? I've looked all over the net and can't find any info on what to do for WOL in a multiple router environment such as mine. I guess I need to somehow tell that magic packet thingy to go through the central router, then through my router, and recognize my MAC address and ip. I really appreciate help in this matter.

  • Wake-over-LAN with WRT54GX2

    I'd like to wake up my computer over the internet, so I'm trying to use the Wake-on-LAN feature.
    I can get it to work when waking from the local network....but I can't over the internet. I've read that I need to forward the right port to 192.168.1.255, but I can't forward to that address.
    Is there anything I can do?

  • 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.
    Raymond

    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.
    Raymond

  • Wake On Lan (over Internet) support for WRT610N

    Dear Linksys/Cisco
    Please please,we need Wake On Lan  (over Internet) support for the WRT610N.
    Whether it's implemented with static arp, or by allowing port forwards to the broadcast address doesn't really matter I guess.
    Please consider this for inclusion in a future firmware upgrade.
    Best regards

    Linksys routes don't support WOL. It's not possible to enter static entries into the router's ARP tables which would be necessary to have permanent access to the IP address of the computer. Basically, after some time of inactivity the router "forgets" the MAC address of your computer...

  • Wake on Lan works with Ethernet, not over Wi-Fi.

    Hello, after several months of tests I came to this conclusion.
    Wake on Lan only works with Ethernet for my iMac. Wake on Lan over Wi-Fi works for a few hours, but if the iMac is asleep for 6 hours or so, it becomes unavailable... On the other hand, with Ethernet it's always available even if it sleeps for an entire week.
    My iMac isn't that old (mi-2011), so I guess it should handle Wake on Lan over Wi-Fi. Is it a software issue?
    - I've got a MacBook Pro since Snow Leopard 10.6 and now with Mountain Lion it handles Wake on Lan over Wi-Fi without problem.
    - I've got my iMac since Lion. Does the iMac only handle Wake on Lan with Ethernet and works differently compared to the MacBook Pro?
    I prefer to use Wake on Lan over Wi-Fi because for the tests I've placed my iMac in the living room in order to plug it to the Time Capsule, but the right place for my iMac is in my bedroom.
    I tried to change the MTU size as it is described here: http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/02/fix-os-x-mountain-lion-wireless-connection-proble ms/
    Note that "Wake on Lan" is checked in my System Preferences, I don't think it's my router's fault, because my Apple TV, AirPort Express, iPhone 5, iPad 2 and my Printer don't disconnect even when they're asleep (I'm talking about my printer and Apple TV in that case).

    I'm connected with the WiFi of my Time Capsule (bridge mode). I have this configuration since Snow Leopard, and no troubles...
    I understand that, but if your router is not an Apple AirPort Base Station then it introduces an element of uncertainty. Apple has implemented many changes related to wireless networking recently.
    You are complicating matters by changing networkoversleep:
    networkoversleep - this setting affects how OS X networking presents shared network services during system sleep. This setting is not used by all platforms; changing its value is unsupported.
    Solving problems like this requires that you simplify your network environment and eliminate its unknowns. Using third party routers and making unsupported changes runs counter to simplification.
    The iMac stays connected to the Time Capsule about 6 hours during sleep. Then it dissapears...
    The iMac wakes periodically (every few hours) to inform your router of its network presence for Wake on LAN demands. Try changing your router's DHCP lease period to something longer than a few hours. For a home environment, a few days is more appropriate. This may not solve the problem, but it is better than making unsupported changes to your system.

  • Wake on lan - I can't get it to work

    Sorry for the nubie here.
    I am unable to wake my new iMac from my Macbook using WakeOnLand. The MB is using wifi and the others are using ethernet.
    Also, I am unable to see a G4 running 10.4.11.
    The MB and iMac are running 10.6.2. No firewalls.
    I have a Dlink router and know how to get into its admin page but really am afraid to change its configurations due to lack of knowledge.
    Any help appreciated.
    Lewis

    no. wake on lan works over ethernet only. it does not matter what router you use. but SNow leopard has a new feature "wake on demand" that does work over wireless. but for that you need a very recent apple router (TC or AEBS) and and a very recent computer.

  • How to configure Wake On LAN to work through the Internet?

    I'm using an iOS app to wake my desktop computer. It works perfectly fine when I'm within my WiFi range. However, when I'm out of my Linksys E3000 access point, it no longer works over the Internet. So, if anyone can point me to documentation that have step by step instruction on how to configure this through the Linksys E3000 access point, I'll be grateful.

    Hi ohgosh,
    I believe your computer is already configured and has all the requirements for Wake on Lan since it works locally. To do it remotely you need to open the regular port numbers used for WOL like UDP ports 9 and 32767. Your desktop IP address must be set to static because that's what you need to enter on the port forwarding page of your router. You may use this link below for instructions on how to do port forwarding on your router.

    Another option is to set up DynDNS on your router. With this, you need to subscribe to DynDNS.com. I found some online links that could help you enable WOL remotely:

  • How to enable wake on lan on Thinkpad Twist?

    I have a Thinkpad Twist purchased because of the presence of the ethernet card.
    Unfortunately I can not turn wake on lan.
    I did several searches and several attempts without success.
    Someone managed to enable wake on lan?
    Thank you.
    (sorry for the English by Google Translate)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey there Cello67,
    To enable Wake On Lan on a Thinkpad twist:
    1) You will first need to power down your laptop completely.
    2) Then turn it on, as soon as you turn it on start hitting the enter key to interrupt start up. This will take you to a start up menu.
    3) From here you will need to enter your BIOS.
    4) Move right over to the Config, then press enter on the Network Selection 
    5) The first option you should have is Wake On Lan. You can change this from disabled to either AC Only or AC and Battery.
    After you have done this save your settings, and resume startup. Once the computer has finished booting go to your desktop, and pull out your charm bar by pressing Win Key + C or with a swipe from the right side of your screen in. From here you will:
    1) Enter the Control Panel
    2) Device Manager - > Your Ethernet Card/Adapter
    3) Click the Power Management Tab
    4) Select "Allow this device to wake the computer"
    Hope this helps Cello67!

  • SCCM 2012R2 multihomed client, Wake on LAN unreliable

    We are seeing a strange problem related to Wake on LAN on client computers with both wired and wireless network interfaces.
    All clients are initially imported with the wired MAC address, booted via PXE and image installed. The client then boots up and contacts SCCM. End users then typically use them via wireless and one would expect SCCM to "learn" both the IP/MAC configuration
    of the wired and the wireless interfaces. (These networks use separate vlans and IP subnets)
    SCCM and our routers are configured for directed broadcasts.
    Network sniffing has confirmed that for these clients, SCCM attempts to send the broadcast to the wifi subnets instead of the wired subnets. All directed broadcasts sent to wired subnets have been confirmed to arrive as expected and those clients wake up
    as expected.
    However, over time the wired network interface appears to be dropped by SCCM, causing Wake on LAN to fail because it obviously won't work using the IP/MAC information for the wireless adapter. When checking the client properties in Configuration Manager,
    some clients are incorrectly listed without a wired network interface.
    How should we proceed to troubleshoot this issue? Any pointers/ideas/suggestions are welcome.

    "one would expect SCCM to "learn" both the IP/MAC configuration of the wired and the wireless interfaces."
    Why would one "expect" this?
    ConfigMgr uses heartbeat discovery to discover IP address information. What is your heartbeat discovery interval set to?

  • Wake on Lan will not shutdown

    Hello everyone,
    I hope I'm posting in the right forum as I think I am simply over looking something.
    I have a dual boot system (win 7 and arch) and am trying to get Wake on Lan to work. I have installed ethtool and wol to find my card defaults to receive magic packets (g). I'm using an Asus Rampage IV Extreme mobo with the latest bios. Everything performs as it should with windows when shutting down or hibernating. My issue is when I suspend or shutdown arch it powers down completely and then reboots in a matter of seconds. If I force the card to wol unicast I can suspend the system (sometimes) but will still not shutdown without rebooting. I have used netctl to force the card to wol disabled and I can suspend it everytime. However, even setting wol to disabled, the computer will not shut down. I have disconnected the ethernet cord and even disabled the NIC in the bios but still the same results. If I shut down arch and pull the power when it initially shuts down it simply reboots as soon as power is connected again. The only way I have found to shut it down is to disable "wake on pcie" in the bios. This in turn also disables the windows Wake on Lan. If anybody has an idea of what a solution might be I am all ears (even if it calls for some trolling, I'm sure this deserves some :-)
    Thanks in advance

  • Wake On Lan question??

    I have an Cisco Linksys EA6500 router. I can't "wake up" my Synology DiskStation or other devices on my network from remote locations throug the Linksys router :/ 
    When i'm on wifi I have no problem waking the devices, only from outside my network.
    And yes, i'm using the right mac-addresses.

    You have to prepare the system for Wake Up Over the Internet.
    Open a Port thought the Router, and the Software Firewall (use high port number so it will not conflict with any other port, 5850 is a good example).
    Assign the port to the internal IP of the computer that you want to WOL (you can use the port only for one computer).

  • TimeMachine to G4 via Network - Wake on LAN , Standby, Sleep

    Hello,
    I want to backup to a G4 running 10.4.11, wich is capable of Wake on LAN.
    How may I make Time Machine automatically wake up the G4? Right now I am using
    http://www.readpixel.com/wakeonlan/index.html
    manually.
    Bye
    Jason

    All,
    I have a g4 MDD that I have set up to Wake on LAN. I
    have another computer (ibook) setup to send the Wake
    on LAN magic packet. This works fine and the MDD
    awakens from sleep after sending the packet.
    However, in about 10 or 15 seconds the MDD goes back
    to sleep again. Why??
    Thanks,
    -BL
    More background info:
    Rather than sending the WOL packet over the network, I walked up to the sleeping MDD and hit the spacebar. It awoke, then went back to sleep about 15-30 seconds later. I hit the spacebar a second time and then started to use the computer (Logged in, checked a few sites in Safari, etc) and the computer remained awake.
    So I guess my more directed question is: why does the MDD go back to sleep when there is no input/usage?
    Thanks again,
    -BL

  • Wake on lan with Iphone.

    Hi, I installed a wake on lan feature on my MBP from apples homepage and likewise I installed the iWOL app on my iphone. However I cannot get it to work. At home I use Airport express connected wirelessly to the MBP and likewise with the Iphone. Do I have to configure the airport express or something? Or does anyone have a step by step guide on how to set it up?
    Thank you very much

    its right , router has to be connected to Ethernet port.
    ary you trying to wake your Mac on your local network ( meaning when you are conected to your router through wi fi directly ?) that is not to difficult to achieve . little tricky bit is if you want to wake your Mac
    from remote location from your iphone , well literality from anywhere . it can be done but not all routers will allow you to do that . but it can be done with right router . plus there's quite a bit needs to be changed in correct router's configuration. but good thing is if you really want that to happen there is a possibility .
    for my needs its essential . i use iwol and SleepOver apps. both of them do same thing but first i got iwol
    and only could wake my MP locally . then i tried SleepOver app and i achieved both Local Wake up and over internet too . again both can achieve same things but i wouldn't have done it without good support and recomendations of SleepOver's developer .
    so if you get it working either of them IWOL or SleepOver is a fantastic combination with Jaadu VNC and File Magnet apps . you can wake your Mac from say Paris in London then use Jaadu VNC app to browse your remote Mac as if you were sitting in front of you Mac at home the open other end of File Magnet from within Jaadu VNC  which is installed on your mac and drag and drop file you want to have on your iphone . then you open File Magnet on your iphone and there they are! file you wanted .
              

  • Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet broadcast

    I would like to use Wake-On-Lan to send a Magic Packet to my PC to power it up - from a distant location over QuickVPN. WOL is working locally, and I can see running devices from a remote location with the QuickVPN client. But I can not broadcast my magic packet from the remote location. Is this because the known NetBIOS problem? How could I make the broadcast work?

    This is not going to work with Quick VPN Client and a Linksys branded device. The reason is the software creates what is called a split tunnel instead of a full tunnel.
    In a full tunnel setup, there is a pool of addresses to have assigned to vpn clients. When you are assigned an ip address from this pool you essentially become part of the local network (meaning all broadcasts and unicasts go thru the tunnel), where as with a split tunnel setup you only send traffic to the tunnel that is destined for the remote subnet VIA UNICAST.
    If you try this with a Small Business Pro device it may work, because you have the ability to do a full tunnel. The broadcast of the WOL will go out of your internet connection, not your virtual tunnel connection.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cisco RV180 and Wake-On-Lan (WOL)

    Hello,
    I got a RV180 (firmware version: 1.0.1.9) and I am bit surprised by the lack of the configuration flexibility...
    I am trying to use Wake-On-Lan (from internet) to wake up a machine in my home (trying to be green and not keep the machine on all the time, just when i need it).
    The configuration is quite simple:
    Work machine ----> (internet) ----> (WAN) RV180 (LAN) ----> Home Machine (off, linux, wol enabled for UNICAST and Magic Packet - flags "ug")
    What i tried so far:
    1. All the following RV180 settings together:
       a. Used Port Forwarding from the WAN IP to the Home Machine IP (UDP port 7 and 9)
           - i had no choice but to put the Home Machine's IP address, since i cannot put the BROADCAST address (xxx.xxx.xxx.255) <- forbidden in the configuration page (i wonder if a new version of firmware allows this)
       b. Used Static DHCP to pair the Home Machine's IP to it's MAC address
       c. Used IP/MAC binding for the Home Machine
    2. All the following RV180 settings together:
       a. Created a PPTP VPN connection
       b. Connected from the Work machine (obtained a LAN IP, can ping the Home Machine if it is on)
       c. Tried to send a broadcast message to LAN (no success !)
    3. I also tried to activate the MULTICAST and BROADCAST WOL flags on the Home Machine but it seems that it receives some messages and the machine wakes up in a very short amount of time after i shut it down (it seems that RV180 sends some messages over LAN by itself).
    In all the 3 possibilites above i was not successful in using WOL....
    Is there any possibility to use WOL from internet in this configuration ?
    Are there new options that will allow WOL from internet in the latest firmware ?
    Any advice is appreciated
    Thank you
    Mircea

    Dear Mircea,
    Thank you for reaching the Small Business Support Community.
    I was researching about your concern and found several people with the same inquiry where they were told WoL is not a supported feature on these Small Business Routers and that I think is a correct assumption, however I found the below threat where someone with a similar case scenario as yours were able to make it work, it's on a different RV router but I thought I may be interesting for you to check;
