Hello
I am not very fluent with linux but I have been trying to do some research on setting static arp entries. I am trying to be able to wake my pc at home when I am at the office or elsewhere. I can wake it just fine if I am on my local network and log in to the router and send it a magic packet.
If I'm researching in the right direction my issue lies with having a static arp entry for the machine I want to wake. I used telnet to get into the router and created the static arp entry and managed to get it to wake from the office, but as I've read when the router reboots it loses the arp entry. I was hoping someone might be able to link me to some fairly basic instructions on how to get a script going to add my arp entry at reboot. Or any other suggestions/concerns are welcomed.
Thanks
