Has anyone got a consistently working set of WOL settings for

I have a vague memory that some routers can strangle the packets - WOL
has always been iffy over the internet.

This isn't across the internet it is within the same LAN subnet. The
only device between the Magic Packet sender and the target machine is
a non-managed gigabit ethernet switch.


Tisn't a "green" switch is it? Some combinations seem to do weird (but
probably intended) things - my desktop PC is now plugged into the
router, but when it was plugged into the switch* the link used to drop
to 10mbps if the PC was in "hibernate" and it sometimes took a second
(or more) tries to "wake up".
The NAS is still plugged into the switch, but that wakes up
instantly...probably becuase it dosen't have a "green" lan


*8 port gigabit "green" thing, don't remember the previous "non green"
one doing it.
