I am working at home and want to wake a computer in the corporate network. I have a VPN connection from my Windows 7 PC to the ISA server that operates as RAS server.
To Use Third Party Firmware In TP-Link Products. Some official firmware of TP-Link products can be replaced by the third party firmware such as DD-WRT. TP-Link is not obligated to provide any maintenance or support for it, and does not guarantee the performance. Hi folks, I am currently trying to get wake-on-lan to work over my VPN and not having much success, so far:. I'm trying to send a WOL packet.
Wake-on-LAN is based on UDP/IP and should be sent to the broadcast MAC address. When I try to send a packet to the network broadcast address at my PC it looks like it is not forwarded to the corporate network.
Is it possible to configure the VPN client and the ISA server so that wake-on-LAN packets go though?
Edit
For clarification I have some addresses:
- home PC VPN adapter address 192.168.1.93 [varies on RAS dial-in]
- wake-on-LAN PC 192.168.1.22
- ISA PC 192.168.1.1
I have some further addresses that should not care:

- ISA external address 83.26.4.139
- home PC LAN adapter address 192.168.73.10
- home PC NAT router address 192.168.73.1
- home PC NAT external address [varies on DSL connect]

Not sure if there's a subnet division between your home IP over VPN and the destination. Your corporate network may not be forwarding WOL packets to the destination subnet. It is tricky to get WOL to work on subnetted networks.
Publish Non-Web Server Protocols
Rule name
Your external NIC internet IP address ... not a google dns server )))
Create a new protocol
WOL: 7 and 9 UDP port ... I add TCP - paranoid mode on.
select WOL protocol
view ... WOL
Good luck

First of all, WOL works perfectly fine from inside my network. As long as I’m on wifi for my local network, I can turn the PC with WOL every time. So quite confident that I have the PC and NIC setup correctly
I’m trying to get external working
I have a port forward on UDP 9 to my Pc’s address 192.168.0.77
I also have a DCHP reservation setup directing 192.168.077 to my PC’s mac address.
I set the above up through some reading I’ve done.
Here’s the weird thing: with the above setup, I can wake the computer up remotely (example, using my iphone in the house BUT with wifi shut off, so although I’m standing in front the computer, I’m sending the packet over the cell network, which I assume is external, not internal)
So while that works once, I can not do it again! Other reading I've done says this may have something to do with a required ARP entry, which I could do on my old (fried) router running DDWRT, however this new router doesn’t appear to have any place to enter scripts etc.
Any advice on how to get this working? I’m somewhat encouraged that this is working (once) but not sure how to get it repeatable?
