Then you can log into the web GUI remotely (or the command line, if you want) and use DD-WRT to send a magic packet to the target MAC address internally. I do this and it's faultless: I can then remotely VNC control my PC, with the connection using 128-bit AES. Handy in cases where you're on a limited internet service (i.e. certain sites are blocked) and want to tunnel through to your home connection instead, or perhaps to retrieve a file.

Thanks for that.
Hopefully when the update comes out I'll be able to do just that i.e. turn off the router part of the SH.
