spants Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I understand that a special packet needs to be crafted to wake a machine. My idea is to use my router to determine the state of the server - alive,dead/sleeping - and when it sees traffic for the server it will send the magic packet from the router. I use DDWRT on my routers and you can run scripts that could send this packet for you. There are a number of addon scripts to check for ip access etc. If it is too complicated looking for access on the main router, I guess that you could use 2 routers - one is dedicated to the server. By adding a route on the main, any access for the server will be redirected to the second router rather than the wan. Is the idea feasible? Tony Quote Link to comment
