Hi,

I have just tried using this program:

http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.aspx

I can get my computer to wake up from hibernation when I am the LAN but when I am away and try to wake the machine up using the internet it will not wake up.

I am behind a router and have enabled port 7 with the local IP address of the machine.

I am using the external IP address and subnet mask given to me by the router the mask is 255.255.252.0 and the MAC address of the NIC on the machine and it just wont work.

Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong?
