Re: Wake on Lan....wassat all about then?

If WOL doesn't work out. Some BIOSes support turning off at specific time and 
turn on automatically after power comes back. You can use a timer in  your 
outlet and set a specific time when you want to power on the outlet and your 
machine will automatically turn on.

You need to go into the properties of the NIC card and click Configure.  Check 
for a Power Management Tab and make sure that it is allowed to wake the 
computer.  Also check the advanced tab and look for WOL in there.  I use a tool 
that is free to down load called WOLCMD and it uses the Magic Packet to wake 
computers.  For computers that have not worked, usually a update to the NIC 
driver has worked.  Overall I like it a lot.  I schedule shutdowns of all PCs 
every night and wake them up early to perform AV scans before everyone gets to 
work.

Hi chaps,

 

I've never used WOL before, never ever had a need to think
about it. However we've got to ensure some machines are on at a given time for
a set update to be installed by a manufacturer and it occurs to me that WOL
would be a good fall back solution.

 

Does anyone know what I need to do to wake a machine from
the lan? All the machines (Dell Optiplex 7xx and Precisions) are within 12
months and all show that they support WOL, I just know nuffin about it.

You will probably also have to go into the BIOS and make sure WOL is enabled.
