Setup NAT rule for Wake on wan

Nety
Hello, I have a Microsoft home server which goes to sleep using the lights out application. 
This application supports WOW which would allow me to have the server sleep during the day and then I can just wake it when I need it.
Details on the lights out feature here
Wake On Wan - We Got Served Forums

Here is how I have it setup:
DNAT: ANY - Port 9 UDP - internal (LAN) (Broadcast) - Destination: MS Home Server
Destination Service - [empty]
Auto Packet Filter Rule, Log Packets

But it is dropping the incoming traffic still. What am I missing?

    Was the dstip the .255 broadcast IP, or something else?
    Since it says action=log, the firewall didn't drop the packet, so that's a good start.

    You can run tcpdump on the console, or a sniffer on your LAN, to see if the packet is coming into your LAN with the broadcast address.

    destip is my external IP address.

    So is outitf="unknown" what would be expected? As far as using tcpdump is there a "how to" somewhere?
