I have a Netduino Plus 2, and I would like to make it so I could use it to wake up my desktop when I ping the netduino. I have WOL code that works, but dont know how to do the WAN side of things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

wouldnt it be more straight forward to make your desktop wake on lan ?

 

anyway: you need to setup your router to allow public access, port forwarding this is.

a good idea would than be get a dns from dyndns or something, many routers (mine at least)

support auto update. so you than have yourdomain.dyndns.com or so, so you dont need to know your actual ip

wich might change on every router restart (or all 24h hours)

I get that entire side of it. I have static external anyway, so that is fine. The desktop is set to Wake on LAN. I just need a way to send the packet from somewhere else to wake it up. I don't know how i would do that, and the easiest way i can think of is to have the netduino respond to an http request, and then send the WOL command when it recieves that request.

If you have a Draytek router, you can do this w/o any additional hardware. I'm sure other routers do it as well.

 

WOL via open port

 

WOL via Router

 

Any help?

 

Also, I keep my PC on 24/7 and use Logmein to access. I believe Logmein also supports WOL directly so you don't even need to make any router changes. Never tested it though.
