iNet WOL - Wake on Lan

nothing missing

Works great to WOL my 2010 Mac Mini remotely over the Internet! Key steps: - Have a dynamic DNS service to point to your network's external IP. Enter this static address into the app - Set up my Time Machine to forward UDP 9 to my Mac's static IP address It can be done. Contact this app's tech support if you have issues. Don't leave a bad review just because you don't try hard enough or you fail because you don't know what you are doing. Again, it can be done and works beautifully on my 2

I thought this was working to wake via internet…I set up port forwarding on my router as per the instructions but after a day, it stopped waking via internet. It wakes when I’m on my local network but it’s not worth paying for an app that only saves me a short walk to the office. App seems to work for other reviewers so maybe its just my hardware setup.

etherwake, a command line app in Linux that does the exact same thing, is a whopping 11kb; yet, for some reason this is 63mb. What possible justification can there be for that? It's not even a universal app, and there's no real graphics to speak of. I have no idea how large it was when I first downloaded it in 2010. It has always worked as advertised, though.

if I can get it working :-) Trouble is, I can't get a reply from the developer to figure out what's not working when trying to "wake" over the Internet. Nice enough interface for a simple one-note utility, but given everything looks correct and I can't get in touch to find out what's not working, I'll hold off on the 5 stars :-)
