I think that wake on lan sends out a broadcast with FFFFF... in the
destination field.
May be because it a layer 2 broadcast it is not passing the packets.
Can I configure a router to pass layer 2 broadcasts? And if I can is there
a way to
control the broadcast so that only wake on lan packets would pass?
Thanks
