Hello,
nifty. I recently came across this one again for backup reasons.
I wanted ask – as you understand more about the protocol than I do – how would you implement a WakeOnLAN on a different subnet?
Reason is, I can send WakeOnLAN events on my phone – but this is connected by wireless and I want to wake up a server in another LAN, ie. the “wired” LAN, another subnet.
Is there a solution to this?
Cheers

according to wikipedia WoL is restricted by standard to a subnet :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_On_LAN
so you need for every subnet a daemon that knows all systems and their MAC address that are connected. And the systems have to support WoL. otherwise it won’t work. but desk/lap-tops support it normally. how it is with wireless devices … boah. no idea…
