Code:

From ANY (any address) UDP port 7 to YourBroadcastAddress port 7

Where YourBroadcastAddress is something like 192.168.0.255

Hi M,

For sure, the redirection is already done since a while for now. My Computer Wake up correctly from external network when I open MCC. The current problem is when the computer is already running but the MCC server app/WMC are not running, there is only the MCC service running in the background. As you should know, this service listen on port 31600 UDP. The MCC app on my tablet send ONLY a broadcast packet with this UDP 31600 and not with the specific destination address. With the specific address as destination, we could Wake up the MCC server from external network without any problem.

I just need this packet ( UDP port 31600 with HTPC destination address) the same way you send a broadcast packet to Wake up the MCC Server app through the MCC Windows service.

Please, let me know if I'm not clear and you need more détails of what I need.

Thanks again
