Im trying to get wake-on-lan to work, Ive enabled it in my motherboard.
My NIC supports it and since the motherboard is PCI 2.2 compliant I
*dont* have a cable running from the NIC's WOL connector to the
motherboards WOL connector.

I know my NIC's MAC address.

In the router, I have selected to forward anything on PORT 9 (UDP), but
the problem is it doesnt allow me to forward to a MAC address only to
an IP address. Since the router automatically assigns a new ip
address to the computer I want to wake, I dont know what the ip address
will be. I can set my computer to a static ip address, but wont this
cause a conflict with the dhcp of the router?

Alterantively, I can assign an aribitrary IP address in the router
(within the local LAN IP range), but is there perhaps a default IP
address in the NIC itself that needs to be used?? If so, how can I find
my NICs IP address?

Im using this to test:
