Actually I have no idea what the SB3 does (the IR remote does nothing), but here's what iPeng does: iPeng sends a WOL broadcast message on port 3483. While this is NOT the most common port to use it needs to be open for server discovery anyway so it's usually a good choice. Your router needs to allow broadcasts on that port and it needs to distribute them across the network. This usually is an issue if you have a combined WiFi and ethernet network and you use a different subnet range for the two, e.g. if WiFi is on 192.168.0.x and ethernet on 192.168.1.x while the respective subnet masks are set to 255.255.255.0. While the router can route directed traffic in this setup broadcasts will not get through. flattermann;558090 Wrote: > > (Pippin, please correct me if I'm wrong :-) ) You are correct.
