I finally got Wake on Lan for my D-Link DI-604 router and Dell XPS (original) working. This is my setup:

1. Get the latest firmware from dlink. As of this writing, it’s 3.52 for my rev E router.

2. Login to your 604 and create a new Firewall rule under “Advanced” -> “Firewall”:
DI-604

3. Enable “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”, “Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby”, and “Only allow managment stations to bring the computer out of standby” under the “Power Managment” tab under the device manager for your LAN adapter. In my setup I have a Intel PRO/100 VE LAN adapter and I also have to enable “Enable PME”, “Wake On Link Settings” and set “Wake On Settings” to “Wake on Magic Packet” all under the “Advanced” tab. Make certain you have the latest LAN adapter drivers too.

4. Go here to wake up your computer:
Magic Key

These direction assume you know how to access your router locally and you know it’s username and password. I’m also assuming you know the router’s IP assignment. It’s also good to have DDNS (Dynamic DNS) working on your D-link DI-604 if you really intend to use WOL effectively. If your computer is off/hibernating/suspended, then it can’t keep the DNS updated.

Also, I don’t know if it’s my PC or not, but if I use WOL and RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) on my XPS the Power Savings mode timers get wiped out and the machine will NEVER go into standby or hibernate. You will also notice that while under an RDC connection there is NO option for hibernate or standby. There are two options:

psshutdown.exe (psshutdown.exe -d -t 00 for Standby and psshutdown.exe -h -t 00 for hibernate)

and

using this command: “rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState”

The utility is free as of this writing. It offers a bunch of options. The rundll32.exe command can be used without quotes from the run dialog from your start button, command line, or a shortcut. The command will only hibernate OR go into standby depending on if hibernation is enabled in your power settings.

These are my only drawbacks:

1. Power Settings go boom (explained above) and I have to manually force, via workaround, my machine into an S3 (standby) or S4 (hibernate) state

2. I can’t wake my machine on an S5 State (total shutdown). I think this is because I have limited options in my BIOS.

3. If I pull/lose power on an S4 state (hibernate). My machine will NOT wake.

The bottom line is I can save some money on my electric bill by turning my computer on and off remotely.

di604_revABC_firmware_220.bin
di604_revABC_firmware_218.bin
di604_revABC_firmware_210.bin

The files above were hosted from the old Canadian site. I have removed those broken links and created local links. I recommend going to support.dlink.com for the latest drivers.

I accidentally installed the VDI-604 firmware on my DI-604. When I tried to installed the latest and greatest firmware, 3.52, I kept getting an error message that the file was not compatible. The solution is to crash your router. When you crash your router it boots into a firmware upgrade mode. This allowed me to install 3.52.

Hold down the rest button for 10-20 seconds until the router lights go out. Quickly pull out and put back in the power cord. When you login the router will display a small dialog box to browse for your firmware. It may take a few tries and I have not tested this on any other routers other than a few Dlink 604s. Let me know if it works on other models.

*Update: Directions to crash the router can be found here.

*Update: I removed the dead links and added the newest firmware, 3.53. Dlink support in the US and Canada no longer host the older versions of the firmwares. They also do not host ANY rev A, B, or C firmwares. Thanks to FastEddie and ErikaD from DSLReports for snagging the files before they went extinct.

This is an article/post I put together for my Dell Dj car installation. Originally I placed the DJ and line-out craddle in the dash and used a wired remote. I ended up making a line-out cable with the help of Sparky from DellDJSite.com

With the line-out cable I was able to still use the line-out feature for great sound, but I can now see the screen from the driver’s position. Very Sweet. I pooped.

Having trouble with PixGallery? I’m a noob, but I was able to flail my way through it and get it working…

Jamie Reid who has a blog/site, http://lonelyfridge.com/ and was nice enough to let me pick and poke at his edited version of PixGallery ver 0.1.8 from here jamie_pixgallery.zip

I took Jamie’s edited version and replaced pixgallery.css and pixgallery.js with the official version http://nathanm.com/index.php/pixgallery or pixgallery 0.2.6.zip files.

I also edited this:
In pixgallery.php I commented out the “PixGallery_LayerCode”.
In pixgallery.php I commented out “add_action(’wp_footer’, ‘PixGallery_LayerCode’);”
In pixgallery.js I changed “PopupLayer.style.top = (Cursor.Y + 5) + “px”;” to
“PopupLayer.style.top = (Cursor.Y - 100) + “px”;” to make the image popup a little higher. Although, this seems to be a little unstable on first image popup.

I left all the plugin panel options defaulted, so your pictures need to be placed in: ex. /home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/photos/Japan

p/ is the root directory of my website/wordpress installation.

An example of my cache directory is here:
/home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/cache/images/photos

You may need to create your cache directories and subdirectories manually. I had some difficulties with this, but it seems to be working now. ex.
/home/virtual/site24/fst/home/cote/p/images/cache/images/photos/Japan

Again, p/ is the root directory of my website/wordpress installation, yours will be different.

Place this code in your post or page <pixgallery></pixgallery>
You may place a readme.txt file in each picture subdirectory so you may add a header to each collection.

Some problems:

Seems to breaks on images greater than 1024 regardless of what you set in the plugin control panel. All my pictures are resampled to 800×600 before uploading.

Place this code in a post for a simple image popup:
<img src=”/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg” width=”400″ class=”usePixGallery” alt=”" title=”(click to enlarge)”
onclick=”javascript:PixGallery_ImagePopupLayer(’/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg’, 800, 600, ”, this);” />

Obviously, you need to change the “/images/photos/Japan/DCP004572.jpg” to something that exists in your /images/photos/example directory.

Here is a copy of my pixgallery setup.

Thanks to Jamie Reid and Nathan Moinvaziri! Here is my gallery: Pictures

*UPDATE* - I no longer use Pixgalley I now use Lightbox2 written by Lokesh Dhakar. The wordpress plugin can be found here. This plugin works very well with the popular Slickr Gallery plugin for Wordpress.

Here is my SlingBox favorites file: Analog Tuner.zip

This works with the new UK (that works on the US model) version of Sling Player: Here

I’m currently working on Antifart.com.

Some notes if you intend to use Inadyn with ZoneEdit (this assumes you finished step 1 from the official web page and you have ZoneEdit and your domain is setup correctly):

Edit and use the “configure_inadyn_service_freedns” file.
(disregard or delete the other .reg file)

Replace “test.homeip.net,PASTE_HASH_HERE” with your host and domain you have configured with ZoneEdit, ex. myhost.mydomain.com

Replace “default@freedns.afraid.org” with “default@zoneedit.com”

Add “–username myzoneeditname –password myzoneeditpassword” Place this entry right after “–update_period 60000″

Change “E:\\FULL_PATH_TO_INADYN\\inadyn\\inadyn.exe” to the location of inadyn.exe, ex. C:\\Program Files\\ZoneEdit\\win32\\inadyn.exe

Save this, then double click on it to load these values into your registry.

You will then need to click on “install_inadyn_service”

Go to ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/Services/inadyn and START the service. Also make sure that the startup mode is ‘automatic’.

Then check the log to see if it worked here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\inadyn_srv.log

Here is an example of my “configure_inadyn_service_freedns” file (minus the sensitive information

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\inadyn\Parameters]
“Application”=”C:\\Program Files\\ZoneEdit\\win32\\inadyn.exe”
“AppParameters”=”–dyndns_system default@zoneedit.com –background –update_period 60000 –username dholden –password xxxxxx –alias hhhhhh.jellylog.net –log_file inadyn_srv.log”

The official support forum for Inadyn is located here.

I have a copy of Inadyn configured and ready to rock (see README.txt) here.

I won the lottery yesterday while playing legos.
