WOL from the internet + remote desktop connection

First enable wake-on-wan from the network controller in windows.



First set on your router a static dhcp reservation on you mac address.

Then set a port forward on the router for port 7 UDP to your reserved ip.


Configure a dynamic dns on the router, for exemple if your router has support you can use for free no-ip.com

To wake-up you need :
  • MAC Adress
  • Public ip or dynamic dns address
  • Port number

Next you will probably will want to make a Remote Desktop Connection to your pc.
For this you have to forward TCP port 3389 to your pc ip address.

On the Remote Desktop settings select Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentification (more secure)
Click Select Users and add your username.
You MUST have at least a PROFESSIONAL version of windows to be able to do remote desktop connection to the computer.

And last install from android market a Wake on Lan
