I have a DNS pointed to my router, port forwarding port 9 to my desktop is done, I can use Remote Desktop by using DNS. I have done static DHCP so that my desktop MAC is binded to the ip I assigned.

  1. I can only WOL my desktop using the router built-in WOL

  2. I can only WOL by boardcasting?? port 9 to x.x.x.255 instead of my desktop ip (when I connected to local network)

  3. I can’t WOL my desktop using DNS/Public IP even connected to local network.

I wanna WOL my desktop using DNS when I am outside or inside the local network. Please help.
