Wake On LAN does not seem to work

[dolphs]

Hi, I am using nas4free ( NAS4Free-x64-LiveCD-9.0.0.1.141 ) and trying to configure the Wake on LAN feature for my interface:

ifconfig -m
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

from this overview WOL should work, so I configured three different ways to power on the system via wol: WOL_MAGIC, WOL_MCAST and WOL_UNICAST.
I tried them in different combinations ( Network-> LAN Management-> Wake on LAN ).

On > no boot ->> not working
WOL_MAGIC > no boot ->> not working
WOL_MCAST > no boot ->> not working
WOL_UNICAST > no boot ->> not working - all settings don´t wake up the box

From the FreeBSD WOL wiki it confirms the driver is supported (if_re).
Also I verified the Zotac NM10-DTX and enabled the Wake on LAN features on the mainboard. In fact it has been tested on this board an on win7 it works with current BIOS settings

1/
So - how can I power on the system with magic packet? :/ Any Ideas?
Most ideal would be if it wakes up from either an http request, ping or ssh

2/
Is there need to set the MTU for the re0:

re0: <RealTek 8169SC/8110SC Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfebdfc00-0xfebdfcff irq 16 at device 11.0 on pci2
re0: Chip rev. 0x18000000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
re0: Ethernet address: 00:01:2e:38:c2:66
re0: link state changed to UP

I think probably you have problem with Port Forwarding in your router & firewall. Please note that if you have local network with two or more clients(computers or other machines) accessing network you have to configure your external ports to local machine so that each service functions. Here is an example for Netgear Router "http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... figured%3F".

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem, I could solve the following way:
- make a backup of your config
- modify manually the LAN section of your config, so that it does not contain anymore the field related to the LAN advanced configuration (e.g. using notepad++):
(note: unfortunatelly, this cannot be done using the GUI directly)

After the change, you should have something like:

<lan>
<enable/>
<if>auto</if>
<ipaddr>dhcp</ipaddr>
<subnet>24</subnet>
<ipv6addr>auto</ipv6addr>
<ipv6subnet>64</ipv6subnet>
<media>autoselect</media>
<mediaopt/>
</lan>

- Restore your config

Hope it works for you.
