Remote wake up

I am trying to remote "wake up on lan" my system and am using the
mc-wol.exe program from http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm. I think that
my router is not letting the command (or magic packet) thorugh. I am
using a DLink DI-707 router. Do I have to open a port for this to work
and if so what port? Thanks for any help.

I use http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.asp
they also have a cmd-line ver at
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.asp .

I did have to open up a port on my router to get it to work, the above
packages use port 7 by default, and that can be overridden.
You can set the port to forward to 192.168.0.255 to broadcast it to your
entire lan.

I have read Daytrippers post and have tried to open port 7 on the
router but still no luck. The command I use is "c:\mc-wol.exe
00:E1:34:88:78:33 /a 69.57.122.45" I am using a dial up connectiion
in the house to wake a computer through my DSL router connection. I
see the packet comnming to the DSL modem but I think it is not getting
though the DSL router or not being broadcasted to the computer I want
to wake up. It will wake up if I sent the command on the same LAN but
not when it comes through the router.
Thanks for all the help

Is your router blocking the SMB ports?

I am new to networking and have learned mostly from trial and error. I
looked in the router manuel and check a few answers on a search enging
and I think that SMP port is 139. I opened this port for the computer
I want to start (192.168.0.141) on my DLink DI-707 but still no luck.
I could not find any help on the DLink page or in the router manuel
for SMB ports so I don't know if they are blocked or not.
Thanks

Daytripper could you please tell me what kind of router you are using.
I am still am having no luck even after a 30 minute secession with
DLink support. I have also tried 2 other routers with the same result
but they were both DLink versions. I have also upgraded my firm ware
as well.
Thanks

A classic Linksys BFSR41 with rather old firmware (1.42.7, Apr 02 2002 - it
works, why eff-around with it? ;-)

/daytripper

If it works internal on your lan, but not external then it must be stopping
at the router. Can you try putting your wol box in the dmz temporarily to
see if the packet gets through that way. If that works, then maybe port 7
is the wrong port.

Well I got a model BEFSX41-CA Linksys Router. I tried setting up a DMZ
with the mac address I wanted to WOL with no luck. I don't know what I
should to set up. Is it the forwarding or filters or something else?
Any help would be appricated
Thanks
Barry

This is the log entry when I tried to WOL on port 7 _
2003-11-28 03:42:20 7/UDP from 206.172.185.160:3036 to 67.69.54.92:7
Possible Chargen Attack, dropping packet

What is Chargen?
