Wake on Lan

Hello,

I just purchased a new WGR614L and want to add the capability of wake on lan for the computers on the network.  I often find that doing upgrades away from the office, the computer in question is not turned on and we don't have a server/computer that always stays on.

I would like to have the ability to store many names and mac addresses in a table and the ability to select a computer name to send the wol packets.

I have opened the telnet feature of the router but don't know where to go next.  Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

How do I change the configuration file?  I have opened up the router via telnet, but this is as far as I have gone.

 Thanks

It should b enabled in the

It should b enabled in the build available 2 u .... u can check this by looking into /usr/sbin ...
Just do a telnet or ssh to your board and see if /usr/sbin/wol is present there or not ... If it is there then u have got it ..
If it z not there then u need to make a new build with WOL enabled ...

I have gone to /usr/sbin and WOL is not there. How do I go about creating a new build with this feature? I would also like to change the email port the router uses to 587.

Thanks
