Waking up stand-by windows computer on Lan?

[kartal]

Hi

Does anyone know of any tool that would let me wake up a standby computer on the lan? I changed the bios and network card settings under windows. I tried various modes and none seemed to work. Either computer goes in to standby and comes back in 10 seconds or never wakes up


thanks

Now I know that AMD has made software with which you can easily "wake-up" PC's on a LAN/WAN. I even downloaded the software.

Now I found a link:

Shades, I have seen the mentions about either from Amd or from Intel butnone are available

WOLcmd - worked for me when I used it.

Netscan also has a WOL manager under the Options menu.

Wake-On-LAN Introduction has a list of utilities, (including the AMD one), to facilitate WOL, eg. ActiveX control for embedding in a web page, perl scripts, etc

If you want to do it remotely, there's also Wake-On-LAN Online.

In a nutshell WOL is a UDP packet containing the target machine's MAC address 16 times sent to port 9

hey thanks for all the replies. I am trying Netscan right now.

Stoic thanks for simplfying it. I was wondering waht the magic packet was

I have been revisiting C++ after many years absence and wrote this Wake On Lan program as an exercise.

To install, just unzip the two files in the attached zip file to a location of your choice.

It is Windows only at the moment (I have tried it on XP and Windows 7) but I am working on a Linux version.

There is no help at the moment but all that is required is to enter the network broadcast adress eg 192.168.1.255 and a MAC address in the format 00:50:8d:eb:4a:cf then click on Wake.

You can also save and reload host settings.

It works for me, I hope it works for you.
