Wake on lan through a router

[franklin97355]

Does anyone know how to send wake on lan packets through a router? I have machines that I can wake when they are on my test bench but not when they are placed in the feild.

The answer is "42"

You'd need to use port forwarding in the router to send the packet to a computer. Since it sounds like you need to wake more than one at a location you'd need to assign each one a different port and set that in the routers forwarded ports and use the following software:

I guess the other option would be to install VNC on one system there that you could remote into and then use that to wake the others as the packets would originate from within the network.
