I do believe to wake on LAN you must set it in to bios. See the word "wake" means start-up.

I am 99% sure it's a BIOS issue but I could be wrong.

AutoIt Smith

[Wus]

yeh... hes saying that he made a way to create that 'message' that activates a comp to wake (iff WOL is enabled)

[themax90]

Ok. Well, cool.

At least it creates the same WOL packet than any other WOL tool (sniffed with Ethereal), so I guess it works.

Yes it works good ! I tested on 2 subnets. And the Magic Packet is sniffed by WOL Monitor from depicus.com !

Time to switch to wireshark

So long,

Thanks for sharing & others for testing.

I tested on my LAN, and it real works!

Thanks for sharing.

I noticed that WoL only boots up a machine if it is completely off. If a machine is in hybernate or standby, WoL will not work, at least for Dells. Has anyone else experienced this?

Or is there another way to wake up a PC that is in standby or hibernate mode?

Thanks,

Yes it runs when your PC is in "standby" or "hibernate" mode !

[ConsultingJoe]

Way cool then, someone should add this to an autoit remote control program

YESSSS!!!!

Thanks you, Thank you, Thank you,

This Wake on Lan script will wake up a comptuer on a seperate VLAN... You ROCK!!

Is it also possible to wake up 1 pc instead of all in your subnet?

Some Wake On Lan tools you can enter the mac adress of the pc and that one and only that one will boot up.
