Wake-on-Lan issue, low power in eth0?
Yes, I know there are 'n' posts about wol... but I think this is something special...
My wol looks 100% (working over lan), when I want to wake up my machine over the internet then it looks like this:
-let's say I've got my 'server' on, so I tunnel with ssh and then I halt server
-now server is off... when immediately use wol over internet, something like this 'wol -p 9 my.ip server.mac' it's working and my server just wake
-if I turn server off again but I do not use wol immediately and let's say I just wait a minute (or I turn off power supply)... and then I use exactly the same command for wol... it's just not working
I think it's something with my eth0 and 'not enought power' / 'no power'... my eth LED is not blinking when I turn off server so I suppose there is no power after one minute from 'halt'... This question mb seems trivial but I'm not expert about HW/network :-).
If u know how to help with this pls help, thanks

Re: Wake-on-Lan issue, low power in eth0?
The reason why this happens is roughly described here http://serverfault.com/questions/190888 … 417#241417
See if binding an IP to your computer in the router settings helps.
Unfortunately I can't help you more than that, I can't get WOL over internet (WOI? WOW?) to work either.
If everything else fails though and you love WOL as much as I do, you can have an always-on server of some sort (ranging from gaming consoles to android phones and routers with dd-wrt) to ssh to and wol from.
