Working: 837 Wake On Lan over internet using NAT (837)

Ok, had chance to play with this since I got back from Christmas. The
problem I had was that I was using an 837 and NAT, so I couldn't send
anything to the broadcast address of the LAN directly from outside. It came
out fairly easy in the end.

Use the perl code supplied by Walter Roberson (thanks!):
http://groups.google.ca/groups?selm=bs125b$do5$

Add "ip directed-broadcast" to the internal Ethernet interface.
Create a rule to broadcast the incoming UDP packet to the LAN (you can use
any port, doesn't have to be 7):
e.g.: ip nat inside source static udp 192.168.1.255 7 interface Dialer0 7

Now run the perl code as follows:
../wol.pl <mac_addr> <external_ip> <port>
e.g.: ./wol.pl 00-04-61-49-ff-e5 81.20.5.18 7

Remember here you are using the single external IP address you have, not any
broadcast address you may think up. This will reach your router and be
broadcast across your LAN. You can test it working by using this monitor
tool on a Windows box on your LAN:

for another platform, pretty simple. To test you will need to send the
packet from outside, so get a freind to help or connect to a remote machine
to send it.
