I've been banging my head against the wall for 30 minutes. I've got a packet monitor running and I'm getting magic packets sent to this PC every 30-40 seconds.
Background:
I installed dd-wrt on my wrt54g over the weekend. I've been messing around with it and so far it is great. After poking around in the WOL section, I tried to send a magic packet from a few different devices just to test it.
Well, it works great...too great, actually. I went to this website and entered the right info to have it communicate with my computer. The monitor immediately showed a magic packet arrival, but it hasn't stopped and it has been a long, long time. I wondered if it was my Android phone that was causing the problem, so I turned it off. Then I thought it may be my router so I reset to factory defaults. Nope, it's still happening.
The only thing left is that stupid website. I already emailed the guy who runs it and asked him to please remove the packet sender from an infinite loop along with a log file and the info I used to generate the request.
I can't use WOL because it will just wake up 10-20 seconds after it reaches hibernate. The one thing I could do is use a different free DNS name since I entered my dyndns domain name into the website instead of my real IP. I really don't want to do that unless there are no other options to put a stop to this. Any ideas?
