Wake sleeping Mac OSX

Your advice was right on & correct. It works! I am a happy camper.

Boy am I dense (lost too many neurons over the years). I had focused on trying to set port forwarding. I wasted much time trying various ports, and was attempting to set the IP 192.168.1.255 there in port forwarding.

Should have set it there in Wake550 to the xxx.xxx.x.255 right off at the start of this little frustrating game.

Now I can wake up the remote G4 and file share off it with reckless abandon, even if it goes to sleep.

Thanks again. much appreciated.

By any chance can you help on this one?

The only TraceRoute programs I can get to work through this same MacSense Router are IPNetMonitor and WhatRoute.

I got the IPNetMonitor & WhatRoute to work by switching protocol to ICMP for TraceRoute to work.

I can't get TraceRoute in NetBarrierX3 or GlobalTraceRoute to work as they seem to be set to UDP by default and refuse to work through the router under OSX. they have nice geographic maps & other semi interesting features.

Do I need to open a port on the router?

thanks again.
