.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / November 2007How can I broadcast a WakeOnLan datapacket?
How can I broadcast a WakeOnLan datapacket? Tried using Sockets but compact framework does not support broadcasting nor connectionless sending . Looked at IPHelper function IcmpSendEcho, but iphlpapi.dll failed to load when using reflection. Any suggestions? Can't you send the packet to the subnets broadcast address? (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address) Compact Framework does support connectionless sending, via the Socket.SendTo method, I seem to recall I had WOL working on my WM5 device, but my router does not allow packets from the internet to the . 255 address on the LAN, so I couldn't actually turn on my machine from the internet, although it worked great when I was connected via my WLAN.

I will give this a go. I have tried SendTo using ip 255.255.255.255 as the EndPoint, but it failed. Not sure of the exception though. > Can't you send the packet to the subnets broadcast address?

This happens on the local bradcast and also loopback addresses. Socket address family is internetwork, type is stream and protocol is TCP. Have tried raw data stream and UDP protocol, but the sockect fails to initlise. SendTo flags does not allow broadcast. > Can't you send the packet to the subnets broadcast address?

I've got a bit further thanks, helps if the socket is Dgram UDP. > Can't you send the packet to the subnets broadcast address?
