WOL on mythtv box - networking

I am trying to make WOL working on my MythTV box but I am doing something completely wrong as I cannot get the box to turn on.
I am running Mythbuntu 12.04. The MB is ASUS P8H61-I LX R2.0 which supports WOL as to my knowledge.
When I run ethtool eth0 via terminal I get this:
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
So I know the network card supports WOL as well.
When I turn the box off and then tries to send a magic packet, nothing happens at all. So either I have a wrong setup on the box or I am sending the packet the wrong way.
My router is the Netgear CG3000, but I am unsure what I have to setup in that to make it work if anything is needed to set up.
The box's local IP is 192.168.0.11
Is there a setup or something that I am missing somewhere?

This is a NIC issue with the motherboard

Why can't I run two USB serial adaptors on the same machine?

My work involves interacting with legacy hardware that uses serial ports. I often have to monitor more than one serial line, and for the purpose I have a couple of the common USB serial adaptors. When I connect both of them to the same (Windows 10) machine, irregularities show up. Both ports show up in device manager, but only the first one that I plug in to the USB connector works. The other one indicates port not open when I try to send data via RealTerm.
I have also seen the situation where when I plug the second adaptor in, its port comes up, but the one for the other adaptor disappears. Does anyone know a way that two devices can happily coexist on the one machine? Thanks in advance.
Just ion case this helps anyone in the future......
The problem seems to be caused by the fact that one of the adaptors was coming in via a (powered) USB hub. When I liberated another native port on the machine so I could host both serial adaptors directly, everything worked fine.
Not worth hunting the cause down, a solution is at hand.

Using the serial port in a Ubuntu for W10 (WSL)

I'd like to know if it is possible to establish communication via a serial port in an Ubuntu for W10 terminal using the USB interface.
Concretely, I am using a Sparkfun edge board and in this tutorial, it is explained how to detect if the device is connected by checking /dev/tty*. However, it does not work in my testbed, nothing new appears in the directory.
Probably, it is related to using Ubuntu over Windows, but I'd like to be sure before moving to another system.
This is a bit old, but it should've worked then... New devices don't show up in the directory, they're already all there, so you need to know what COM port it's on, let's say it's on COM4, then your device will be /dev/ttyS4 in linux.
I've been using this for well over a year to upload files to my MCU boards kinda like what you want to do, and as long as the device shows up as a COM interface in Windows, and isn't in use, you should be able to connect it to it in WSL as /dev/ttyS[COM#].
Hope this helps, even if it's a bit delayed.

How to find nodemcu (esp8266 + arduino) with dynamic IP (DHCP)?

I would like to connect the nodemcu to some LEDs, running a HTTP server (RESTful presumably) and turn on/off accordingly. However, how can the devices in the same network find the device? I guess I could try static IP for esp8266, but that is not guarantee to work every time everywhere. So how can I scan the network to find that, or is there any better solution?
I think most people use multicast DNS (mdns) for this, a quick Google should give you some examples for the environment you use :)
I like using MQTT, which is a different protocol that uses a central broker, but it's probably not quite what you want.
Also, why would a fixed IP not work? Most routers allow to assign one based on MAC address, which should work consistently.
And finally, you should be able to set a hostname for the ESP (wifi_station_set_hostname in the ESP SDK, which I think you can call from Arduino also), which should make it known with your router under that name.
I set my DHCP server to always give the same IP address to my NodeMCUs based on their MAC addresses. They are also configured with mDNS but I don't have mDNS on my Android phone so it didn't help me.

How to turn off internet on RasPi without disconnecting it from the local network

Is there way I can turn off only the internet off the RasPi.
I have set up several things that starts downloading files, torrents, videos on my RasPi as soon as it starts. This really slows down the internet of the home network. To get better I have to turn the power off of the RasPi. But it takes effort to go turn the power off the RasPi. I have thinking if there is any way I can stop RasPi from using the internet, not disconnecting it from the network cause that would be a big trouble. Just stopping the internet access of RasPi so no external IPs can be reached. I was thinking if this can be done through browser of any device within the local network, so that I can turn ON/OFF the internet of the RasPi. Please let me know if anything like that exist, or you can create something like this.
Thanks
These two commands worked fine for me
To stop the internet:ip route del default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0
To turn it back on:ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0

What is causing putty to not connect to beaglebone black

I have a Beaglebone Black(rev c),I am trying to connect it to Windows 8 laptop using putty. I am putting IP address as 192.168.7.2 and port as 22,but when I says open to it,putty window will pop-up and after sometime I will get fatal ERROR saying:
"Network connection time-out"
I am new to this, can someone tell me what am i missing?
Seems to indicate the an SSH server is not running on the BBB. Or possibly for some reason the BBB did not take 192.168.7.2 as an IP. Or perhaps you might need to wait a little bit longer for the SSH server to start up.
Short of this, there is not much to go on. One way to trouble shoot the issue would be to get a serial debug cable, connected and working to the BBB. Then you could dmesg | grep ssh or some such and hopefully get closer to what the actual problem is. Sorry if this is not enough for you to go by, but it is really hard to figure out what is going on without more information.
Other potential problems could be as simple as a USB cable that sometimes works or sometimes doesn't.
It may not be this but have you installed the drivers? See step 2 here: http://beagleboard.org/getting-started. If it's not that or you have already installed those then I am not sure sorry. Perhaps someone else has another suggestion.
Is the BeagleBone connected to your network with an Ethernet cable? It will only use 192.168.7.2 for the network-over-usb when there's only a USB cable connected - if you have Ethernet connected it will use DHCP to get an IP from your router, in which case you can check your router page to see what IP it got.
If you do just have USB connected then a driver issue is the most likely culprit, but you could try to ssh to the hostname beaglebone.local instead of the IP.
