iWOL - Wake on LAN, now on the App Store under Utilities!A iPhone - iPod touch application that sends a WOL packet to a specific computer via the internet or LAN Features - Add as many computers as you want
- Works via the Internet
- LAN Broadcast

- Name: Can be anything you want here.
- MAC: Windows: Go to START, RUN, CMD, and type IPCONFIG /ALL. Find the PHYSICAL ADDRESS
for the ethernet adapter. Mac OS X: System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Configure ->Ethernet -> Ethernet ID Enter this address in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
- Host: Enter the IP address assigned to your computer by your ISP or a DNS name if you have one set up.
To see your WAN IP address, go to http://checkip.dyndns.org. If you have a dynamic IP and your router supports dyndns.org then create an accout by Clicking here
- Port: Usually you use port 7. You'll have to login to your router and forward the incoming requests for port 7 (UDP) to the IP address of the computer you want to turn on.
- LAN Broadcast: If your phone is connected to the same network the computer is on, turn LAN Broadcast ON. If you are using Edge on your phone or are connected to a different network, turn this setting OFF.
In order for this to work via the internet your router needs to be able to foward the magic packet from a port (e.g. 7 UDP) to the LAN IP of the computer you want to wake up. Also it only works using an ethernet cable, it will NOT work through a wireless card on the computer you want to wake up!
