May 19, 200422 yr zup peeps,trying to config my linksys befsr41 so i can use the wake on lan (WOL) feature of my linksys lne100tx nic and supported motherboard. I downloaded a gui app that allows me to enter the mac, internet address, subnet mask and port. it also has an option to send the WOL packet via lan or internet. I dont have a prob via lan, but it wont work via internet. I am still on my lan, but either way i believe that the packet would out the router to the internet then back in to the router once it finds my dns and send it to the pc with mac address specified.i created a forwarding port on the router, port #7 to IP 192.168.1.100. As per what I've read, it doesnt matter what port you assign. I even created a UPnP forwarding port on the router and i dont even know what upnp does! can someone give me some advise here. or do i really need to do this from a remote pc? If that's the case, I cant wait to try it from work!!! thkz for the helpceezWOL Webpagehttp://www.depicus.com
