Hey All, I have been looking for a way to forward a port to the broadcast address of my network 192.168.1.255. If I try and do this from within the routers web cpanel I get 'invalid ip'. Has anyone achieved this. I want to issue a wake on lan packet over the internet to turn on my server. I only usually remotely access it…

Hey All,

I have been looking for a way to forward a port to the broadcast address of my network 192.168.1.255. If I try and do this from within the routers web cpanel I get 'invalid ip'. Has anyone achieved this. I want to issue a wake on lan packet over the internet to turn on my server. I only usually remotely access it maybe once a week and am trying to cut down on the electric bills.

On a side note has anybody had any expierence with DD-WRT or Tomato? Which is the best(most features) firmware and which router would you recommend to run it on along side my UPC router.

John.

P.S The Cisco EPC2425 is a piece of crap. I'm on my second one and started having WiFi problems. Thankfully most of my systems are using ethernet.
