+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted June 28, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted June 28, 2015 I am trying to get this to work and am having some trouble. I have setup my BIOS/UEFI to accept WOL, I have changed network settings within Windows to accept it as well. I installed this Android app to do it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mafro.android.wakeonlan&feature=search_result [1] [1] (please recommend a better one if there is one). I think the issue is it is asking for an IP address and a port. I entered my MAC address, but what exactly are you supposed to enter for the IP and Port?

Aergan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.increase.wakeonlan Works for me. I assume your Wireless LAN is in no way restricted for sending WoL magic packets or broadcasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depicus Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 This one is the BEST EVER https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.depicus.wakeonlan.free Ok maybe it's mine but it's good. IP address is, if it is any good, the subnet directed broadcast address of your network. For port anything but I'd suggest 4343 as it's high enough not to interfere with anything else. Remember if you want to wake up from outside of your network you have a whole other world of pain to go through to get it to work If you are stuck just ask. +Kyle 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kyle Subscriber¹ Posted June 28, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think the issue is it is asking for an IP address and a port. I entered my MAC address, but what exactly are you supposed to enter for the IP and Port? When it's asking for an IP address and port, you need to enter your IP address not your mac address. On Windows you can find you IP address by completing the following on Windows 7/8: Click the Start button Type in "cmd" without quotes and hit enter A black box will pop up. In this box, type "ipconfig" without the quotes and hit enter A few lines will be typed. You are looking for IPv4 Address An IP address looks something similar to 192.168.1.101 where the last two octets may be different. It could also look like 10.10.1.101 where the last 3 octets could different and on some internal networks you may even see 172.16.1.101 where the last two octets may be different. Looking at the documentation for this software you are using, it appears that port 9 is the default. I would start with allowing that. Hope this helps!

T3X4S Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I am pretty sure he knows how to get IP address, but I think the problem is the BIOS/UEFI doesnt assign an IP Depicus 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depicus Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I am pretty sure he knows how to get IP address, but I think the problem is the BIOS/UEFI doesnt assign an IP Which is why you use the Subnet Directed Broadcast address so the WoL packet is sent to all machines on or off T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted June 29, 2015 Author Subscriber² Share Posted June 29, 2015 My router does not allow forwarding that address, which is my current problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 My router does not allow forwarding that address, which is my current problem. Are you running any type of web-server on another computer in the network? I think I have a PHP script that can generate the magic packet for a MAC address just by browsing to the page.

Yes if your router does not allow that you'll have to set up a WoLF (Wake on Lan Forwarder) or use Static Arp Static Arp http://blog.depicus.com/using-wake-on-lan-over-the-interweb-static-arp/ Build your own WoLF http://blog.depicus.com/using-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wake-on-lan-forwarder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 wake.php - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/111413/static/wake.zip Run it like this - http://www.pathtowebserver.com/wake.php?mac=AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA Change mac= to your systems MAC address for the interface it is listening for WOL packets on.
