How to wake up a mac (behind a NAT)

First of all, if your mac is using DHCP, make sure your Router won’t drop the DHCP Lease while the remoted mac is sleeping — otherwise do the IP settings manually on your remoted mac. Your Router has to support DD-WRT Firmware (how to manage), otherwise there ‘ll not be send a broadcast WOL message and your target ‘ll not wake up.

lets go:

1. you ‘ll need the MAC Adress of your remoted mac — note it
2. open UDP 9 Port on your NAT (for all IPs you want to wakeup)
3. make sure, your router DNS is always reacheable from the internet — you may use dynDNS or other services
4. on the remoted mac go to system preferences -> “energy saver” and click on the “options” tab, make sure “wake for ethernet network administrator access” is selected.
5. download WakeOnLan (the only tool has made it for me)
6. add a new host manually (your dynamic IP adress an noted MAC Adress of your remoted mac
7. try to wake em up!
