Send a message via ICQ to JC00
Can't open UDP (WOL) ports 7 and 9.

I tried port forwarding 7 and 9 (UDP WOL) on 2 different routers. However, when I check the open ports using online port check tools, it still indicates that 7 and/or 9 is closed.

Any insights about this?

What routers have you tested?

What site are you scanning from? Are they scanning with UDP? UDP is connectionless and may not send a response back even though the packet went through.

To confirm, you are trying to wake a computer up from over the Internet?
