Hi,
Have PPTP server enabled and running smoothly on my router (v5.14). PPTP connections are bridged to LAN. How could I forward WOL package from PPTP client to LAN located server?
i dont know about WOL, but pptp is not l2. its a l3 protocol. run l2tp who is l2 to bridge the to VPN routers.
Have some limitation on client side. PPTP available only 
. Will continue to look for solution.
For L2 communication, EoIP+PPTP is required or PPTP+BCP (bridge control protocol supported on both ends),
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:BCP_bridging_(PPP_tunnel_bridging)
L2 between two networks should make Wake On LAN feature operational.
But should also work With l2tp Interface in bridge?
Yes, L2TP will work too.
I have found really good tutorials how people make pptp+EOIP in case of two routers:
http://blog.butchevans.com/2008/09/mikrotik_routeros_transparent_bridge_pptp_eoip/
But the problem is I am using android device as client connecting to pptp server. Did any of you guys had a chance to setup something similar? And if you did how did you forward WOL requests from remote location to LAN?
Ok guys, hope you can help me with the issue.
I have L2TP VPN up and running on my ROS. Clients can connect and have access to local resources. But still no go with WOL packages (systems in LAN doesn’t wake up).
When the client is connected to LAN network directly everything working perfectly. What am I doing wrong?

put your l2tp interface in your bridge. Use the ppp profile bridge parameter.
Done that. Still no go
bridge=“Private bridge”
/ppp profile
add bridge="Private bridge" change-tcp-mss=default local-address=private_pool \
name="Private secure" only-one=default remote-address=private_pool \
use-compression=default use-encryption=yes use-mpls=default \
use-vj-compression=default
So I guess no good solution here
We dont have problems with WOL over openVPN tunnel(layer 3),PPTP … We are using this app http://www.uloz.to/xTNss92/wakeonlangui-exe (running in Wine too) … Just set right MAC address, right IP address subnet 255.255.255.255 and options internet and right port (7,9)…
Well, I guess that really depends what kind of wol technology you are using on the server side (Magic Package, Broadcast, Multicast, etc). Anyway have a limitation on client it is Android and have used like 5 different application for testing. All of them work fine when the device connected to LAN though. Plus see WOL package capturing the traffic port on router.
Ok, I have continued to dig through and came across this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Subnet_directed_broadcasts
Could it be a problem for WOL (Magic Packet) not reaching destination? And if it so how could I enable SDB on ROS for VPN connection?
