Allright but I think it shouldn't wake up by WiFi Local Network too, if that was the reason.
I use a specific address for my pc (static) on my local network.
[App] HELP!! =) WoL Everywhere v2.2 - WoL PC's and remote-execute *.bat-/*.vbs-files!

I use a specific address for my pc (static) on my local network.
I think it is something about how the WoL magic packet works. The magic packet gets broadcast network wide and the adapter with the matching MAC address knows what to do with it. Since you are already on the network there is no need to punch a hole through the firewall.
However, when you are trying to do it remotely (not over your own network) you do have to get through the firewall. Adding a static ARP entry gives you the hole to get through to broadcast that packet. That is why, I think, it is set up to bind to an unused MAC address and IP address rather than a valid one. Once you are able to get the packet through to the network it does its job as it would if it were local.
I can't remember if I actually opened port 7 for that fake IP address or not, my dynamic DNS isn't resolving right now (I'm thinking the weather has knocked out power or internet at home) or I'd check for you.

Upon re-reading the WW-DRT wiki article the port forward IS done to the random IP address that is used for the static ARP.
Hi,
Thanks for a wondefule app. A few questions:
1. Is there an argument i can pass to the application without displayin the user interface. I want it to wake up without having to tap twice or thrice.
2. Is there a way to change the font size of the UI. I am running in QVGA mode and i can't hardly read the text displayed on the UI.
Thanks

Thanks for this wonderfull App! The only thing i miss is the option to enter the subnet mask because without that option i can't power on my PCs over the internet. I need to enter 255.255.255.255 to be able to do that but i gues the internal automatic subnet mask of the app is 255.255.255.0. So that's why it doesn't work for me...
