Hi,
I am looking for a new router.
It should be specifically capable of two things:
- update my IP-adsress at DynDNS.org
AND
- either receive broadcasts or have a Wake-on-LAN feature.
I want to be able to remotely start (wake up) my PC via the internet. So a) I have to be able to find out about the IP-adress and then b) send the magic packet for wake-on-LAN to the internal broadcast IP (i.a. 192.168.0.255).
Does anyone know a device that can do this?
Thanks, Ulrich

The Linksys WRT54G has embedded DynDNS.org.
For what its worth for anyone looking at alternative remote controls ideas, voice radio pagers with off-frequency DTMF decoders.
We have several Motorola voice pagers that open up with the same capcode and use a non-standard DTMF timebase crystal other than the stock
3.57 MHz color-burst frequency crystal. We can reboot servers and access points by remote control if the TCP/IP infrastructure is down."UH" hath wroth:
WRT54G, WHR-HP-54G or similar router with DD-WRT firmware.
I don't use the DDNS part, but I sometimes use the WOL feature when I wanna turn on my office PC and pickup some files.

What wrong with using one of the several automatic dynamic dns updaters ?
I use DirectUpdate, and it works great. There are others that are freeware.
I personally have not used WOL NIC's, so I have no idea what is required for that.
