Wake-on-LAN packets redirect to broadcast
Dear FreeNAS community,
I have the following situation here. I have a Linksys WRT320N router, but some fools at linksys decided that we can not open any ports (including WOL) to forward it to the broadcast address of your own network.
Now I have one pc which needs to be waked up over the internet when needed, but it can not receive the magic packets as the router doesn't forward them correctly.
I do have a FreeNAS server 24/7 available, so I can forward the WOL port to that machine, and let the FreeNAS forward it to the broadcast ip (if possible).
In short:
I wonder, is it possible to forward any requests on a port (9) of my FreeNAS box to the broadcast address (192.168.1.255) of my network on the same port? So it would act like some kind of a router?
Help is being appreciated!

If the PC and the server are on the same "switch" (lets say), so just SSH to the server and WoL
(I hope FreeNAS know that basic things like WoL, coz it is unix itself :] )

FIXED
I made a webpage on my server which executes the "su root /mnt/HDD1/system/wol/wol.sh" command with shell_exec from php, ofcourse behind password. This .sh has the right codes for the WoL command. I did need to install te WoL package first "pkg_add -r wol".
