Hi Gurus,
Can you tell me if it's possible to send a wake on lan packet over a VPN tunnel between the Cisco VPN client on a workstation and a PIX 501 firewall at the other end?
I'm trying to establish if it's possible to wake up my home PC from work. At home I have a Cisco 837 ADSL router and this is connected to my PIX 501. I can establish a VPN to my PIX using the Cisco VPN client (I'm using v4.8.01.0300) and that works just fine. But when I try using a WOL app (I've tried the Depicus one) I can't seem to wake my home PC this way.
By the way, I know my home PC's WOL features are working because if I try waking it from another machine on my home LAN it does wake up fine.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed ;-)
I have seen an article somewhere that talks about allowing the WOL packet through a Cisco 837 router by using the IP Directed Broadcast command. Would that be the best way of tackling this?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Kind Regards,
Greg.
