WOL with linksys WRT54G version 7

Thanks for replying.
What I do is execute the following php script under from my website.
I have a dyndns-address (eehost.com) connecting to my public ip, and send a magic packet to port 7 on my this.
The packet contains the mac-address for my pc.
My linksys router forwards all incoming packets on port 7 to 10.0.0.127, which is the broadcast address of my network.
I have been using logmein, but I think this is a better solution when I want to start the ftp service on a computer no powered on.

<?
# Wake on LAN!
flush();
function WakeOnLan($addr, $mac,$socket_number) {
  $addr_byte = explode(':', $mac);
  $hw_addr = '';

  $msg = chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255);
  for ($a = 1; $a <= 16; $a++) $msg .= $hw_addr;
  // send it to the broadcast address using UDP
  // SQL_BROADCAST option isn't help!!
  $s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
  if ($s == false) {
    echo "Error creating socket!\n";
    echo "Error code is '".socket_last_error($s)."' - " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($s));
    return FALSE;
    }

    $opt_ret = socket_set_option($s, 1, 6, TRUE);

WOL (Wake on LAN) magic packets are not routable over the Internet. They are also not typical IP packets so they are not routable. There are a few work arounds:
-purchase a WOL router that has WOL "buttons". These are built -in functions programmed to send WOL packets to specific devices from the router's management console which you manage remotely
-if there are multiple PCs or servers at the site to which you are trying to connect. Connect to one using a VPN, LogMeIn, Remote Desktop or similar service and send the magic packet from it to the unit you are trying to wake.
-if using SBS there is an add-on to wake network devices from a management console, but the SBS has to be on
A fellow in Germany has created an add-on that works only with SBS and its RWW to add a wake on LAN 'button' to RWW. This is more secure in that it uses SSL

-use a 3rd party tool. This tool claims to be able to send magic packets over the Internet, using port forwarding. I haven't tried it:
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.aspx
However read the section entitled "Wake on Lan over the Internet (or why is it such a pain in the ****)" on the following page:
http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/what-is-wake-on-lan.aspx

According to what i've found out, wol over the internet should actually not be a problem. This is a small LAN with only 4 computers and one router, and I think it is the linksys that is the limitation :(

There are several websites explaining how to set up WOL over the internet,
http://www.ezlan.net/WOL.html
http://wakeonlan.me/
http://www.mutchek.com/blog/2004/12/16/wake-on-lan-over-the-internet/

In addition, Broadcast packets are not routable over the internet. Just think how quickly we would flood the internet if they were.
Every time I say something is not possible, I am proven wrong, but I am doubtful you will get this to work in this manor.

The broadcastpacket is not sent over the internet.
The packet is sent to one specific ip-address, but is broadcastet when it gets to my linksys wireless router.

Its like this: I click a link on my website -> A magic packet is sent to ip-address 213.xx.xx.5 port 7 -> My router receives the packet, and because it is on port 7 it forwards it to the broadcast-address of my LAN (screenshot)

Ah I see what you are saying, however a broadcast address is a specific address defined for a given subnet. The broadcast address for your subnet of 192.168.1.x is 192.168.1.255
In order for the router to forward the WOL packet I believe it needs to allow "Subnet Directed Broadcasts", which is apparently not enabled on most routers by default, and doubt this is a configurable option on a Linksys. I am afraid it is a feature I am not very familiar with, but it is a common topic here.

My subnet is 255.255.255.128, so the broadcastaddress 192.168.1.127 is correct.
And yes, my question was if anyone has been able to do ip direct broadcast/subnet direct broadcast with this router, linksys WRT54G version 7 .

Anyone? :)

Sorry I didn't realize you had changed the default subnet mask.
Afraid I am not much help, so I will step back, but continue to monitor.
Good luck with it.

Thanks for giving it a try!

I think this is the limitation of Linksys router WRT54G version 7.
I got the same problem as you. I am looking a new solution regarding updating the firmware of it.
I have done some further research, and seems like DD-WRT custom firmware does have an option for wake on LAN. I am not sure if I should change my firmware.
