WoL: Magic Packet wakes PC but cannot repeat it after 40 seconds
A very simple setup:
I have 2 desktops (XP Home) and I often need to use one of them, „WoL target PC” from far away through the Internet. I managed to configure the WRT router so it
wakes this PC.
This I did now as a test: my wirelessly connected laptop (not shown) requests Magic Packet from the handy Depicus’ site. I have been assured that this way the Packet arrives from THE WORLD.
I entered where necessary Target Pc’s MAC and IP, also WRT54GL’s MAC and IP, my static/public IP, etc. I filled the forwarding table.
So far so good - I can wake the target PC but second time waking is possinbel only within some 40 seconds after the first wake-up and that is useless.
Can anyone show me where to correct this situation inside my DD-WRTv 24-sp1 std?
I assume it has to be there, probably the router "forgets" after 40 seconds the correlation between IP, MAC, whatever, but I am lost in all those GUI screens - I do not understand 95% of it.
Thank you.
