I was asking you if does entering 192.168.0.254 work?

Yes, very interested in that, I always get an error popup at that point.

It passes the edit, but does not allow the computer to be woken up remotely.  My understanding is that 255 is special, and will broadcast the packet to all devices on the network, while 254 only send to that one IP, which is not a valid machine.

Possible that the 825 FW might not support the 255 address. 
I've noticed that on most DIR series routers, .255 in any rule is not valid however using .254 is. I noticed this in the QoS section. On DGL series routers .255 can be used.

Hi,
I own a d-link DIR-826L.
I have managed to get WOL working from the internet only with firmware 1.02. 1.00 or 1.01 or the latest 1.04 did not work. The settings were:
Go to Advanced -> Virtual Server check one of the check-boxes, from the Application Name list choose Wake -ON-LAN (the last one) and click on the << button to load it. For the IP put 192.168.0.255 (or whatever your IP class broadcast is). And it should work.
Good luck!

Thank you for sharing.

I got WOL working on my Dir-825 by using daedao's Firefox Firebug hackfix posted in the The DIR-655 WOL Knowledgebase Thread. I have HW: A1 FW:1.01.  http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=16404.0

Thank you for posting. I presume the firebug mod is for the out of IP range?
