Now internet originated magic packets will be broadcast to all devices on your network, but only the machines with the correct MAC address within that packet will respond. You’re in business, now go to Port Forwarding and setup a forward for UDP on some high port (5500, 8888, whatever) to internal address 192.168.1.254. 254 dev br0 lladdr ff: ff: ff: ff: ff: ff PERMANENT The solution is to send the magic packet to the broadcast address for your subnet (generally 192.168.1.255) but Tomato won’t allow that, so we work around it by turning 192.168.1.254 into the broadcast address by adding these two lines to server$ ip neigh show 192. The Tomato WoL page lists device status, if it is “Active (In ARP)” then internet WoL commands will work, otherwise no go. This is because it’s address has expired from the ARP cache and you’re boned. You can still login to Tomato and wakeup the computer but that’s it. The hiccup for internet control of WoL is when your computer has been off for 20 minutes or so you won’t be able to send the magic packet from the WAN anymore. Worst case you can always log into your router this way to boot your computer, bypassing the complexity and problems of WAN control as Tomato effectively sends the command from inside your LAN. For easier identification I’ve given all my devices static IPs and names under Basic->Static DHCP. Tomato has built in WoL functions under Tools->WOL where you can click any MAC address listed to send the wakeup command. This will let you log into the web interface or SSH in to a command line for testing or other uses in the future. Configuring Tomato for WoLĪfter you have Tomato (or Tomato USB) installed take a few minutes to secure it for remote access. In Win7 you can change the default shutdown option to hibernate click the Start orb and right click on Shutdown, choose properties, change the Power button action drop-down to Hibernate and click OK.

WoL doesn’t always work when the computer is off (depends on the machine), because the network card has no power and thus can’t receive the magic packet, so your PC may have to be in Sleep or Hibernate mode.

It’s all driver specific so yours could be a variation of those. For me one machine used the property “Wake on Magic Packet” and the value “Enabled”, another used the property “Wake-On-LAN Capabilities” and the value “Pattern Match & Magic Packet”.

On Windows 7 both my machines had WoL enabled by default but to verify you can open your network adapter in Device Manager and check the Advanced tab to see if the property pertaining to WoL is enabled.

At first I did not have USB 1.1 enabled, and figured maybe this drive was pre USB 2.0. The router does see the device, but it just doesn't mount it as evident in this screen cap. I have a quite old Corsair Voyager 1GB drive that I just reformatted to NTFS that I plugged into the router. It is my understanding that the mounting process should be just plug and play.

My end goal here is to get my bandwidth logs and maybe even my system logs to log to an external USB thumb drive.

Pardon but my Linux skills are very rusty.
