Hi, Is there a way to wake a pc up behind two routers? (I know the fact that the magic packet uses the MAC address so it can't be simply port-forwarded) If not, is there a way to bridge the internet connection from a pc to the second router so that the pc be accessable from the outside but not loose the connection on the second router when the pc is off?( I have two nics on that pc). If not, does anyone have any suggestions? (For example will hubs work?) Thanks.

Hi, Based my research and knowledge, Wake on LAN (WOL) is a way to Switch On a computer that is connected to a Network from a Remote Computer. To support WOL you must have a computer with Motherboard that supports WOL, as well as a Network Controller (NIC) supporting this function. Most of the newer Motherboard (circa 2002 and On), have an On Board NIC that supports WOL. Otherwise you need to install a PCI NIC that is WOL capable. The WOL process is done through sending a special packet (aka "Magic Packet") to the remote computer. In order to wake up a computer from the Internet you need a Broadband connection with a Router connected to the Modem that keeps your connection alive (you need a Router even if you have Static IP). Waking Up the computer from remote is done by sending the magic packet through the Internet using your Internet IP address, and the MAC number of the computer that you intend to Wake Up. In addition, please refer to this. http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2007/03/23/a-discussion-about-wake-on-lan.aspx Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support
