this might seem obvious or stupid to somebody, but I can't find anything that helps me yet, besides the fact that I'm not a Linux user.
I've got 2 NAS boxes (Iomega, now Lenovo) IX4-200D and PX6-300D. They're always on. I've also got a computer already set to start up with a magic packet (works as expected). My router doesn't allow me to send a packet from the internet to the home broadcast address or doesn't like to forward such packet anyways (even though I'm using a DHCP reservation). Since the NAS boxes are always on, I was thinking I could just cut the headaches and SSH onto one of them from the WAN and get the magic packet sent from it.
These are the two versions they're running on: Linux version 3.8.6 (gcc version 4.7.2 (crosstool-NG 1.18.0) ) Linux version 2.6.31.8 (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) )
I've only got SSH access to them. Is there a way to get a WOL client installed on either one of them?
I found a forum a few days ago where a guy had a similar request, it turns out he found a solution but never really gave an answer to his own problem.
Cheers
