wake on lan

I constantly have to wrestle with Sleep Mode. Even though my Power Setting are correctly set there's always something else, a software, a hardware, a drivers, etc, that disturb those settings and prevent them from functioning correctly. One day everything works and the next day my PC doesn't go...

Lenovo’s new ThinkPad Thunderbolt 5 Smart Dock 7500 promises to bring a professional docking experience that feels like a leap into the future: support for three 8K displays at 60Hz, an unheard-of 180W USB Power Delivery (PD 3.1) power budget, and cloud-enabled fleet management — all wrapped in...

Windows 11 machines that should shut down but instead loop into a restart are a maddening — yet fixable — class of problems, and the simplest remedies usually live in your power configuration and a few targeted system checks. Background Windows 11 introduced incremental changes to startup...

Many Windows 10 users are familiar with the convenience of a rapid boot process, but far fewer understand the mechanism—fast startup—that makes this possible. Debuting with Windows 8 as "Fast Boot," fast startup remains integral in both Windows 10 and Windows 11, promising to help users shave...

Wake on LAN (WoL) is among the most intriguing legacy technologies still actively supported and relevant for modern Windows 11 users, blending convenience with caution in an era increasingly dominated by remote access and energy-conscious computing. For IT professionals, power users, and remote...

Hello so I haven't used windows really since 2006, being a Mac user, but a huge fan of gaming, but fed up with having to buy the latest consoles every couple years... Xbox 360 original, 360 slim... xbox one to Xbox s/x and now the Xbox series gen. So I got my holiday money for 2020 summer...

Hi there I'm having trouble getting the Wake-On-Lan to work. Here is what I did so far: - I activated Wake-On-Lan in UEFI (there is only one option for this in my UEFI) - On my network adapter (Device Manager/Network adapters/Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller/Properties) on the tab "Advanced"...

for quite a while now I have had wake on loan working on windows 7 and on the subsequent windows 10 upgrade, however in the last week or so it has stopped working: port forwarding (ports 7 and 9) on the router still active, I've also updated drivers for the network card and rolled them back, the...

Hi all, the past 2 weeks, I spent more than 24 hours searching for methods to wake on WAN but the tutorials were so confusing regarding the port forwarding. I have already done wake on lan over local network or local wifi but I couldn't do that from outside my company. Can someone describe how...

I'm not sure when this started happening - i don't think I changed any network settings, maybe after a windows update? Anyhow, when i wake up my PC i'm unable to reach anything outside the LAN, even via it's IP address. I can ping the router and pull up the router's web page via Link Removed I...

The Wake-On-LAN (WOL) feature wakes a computer from a low power state when a network adapter detects a WOL event (typically this is a specially constructed Ethernet packet). The default behavior in response to WOL events has changed from Windows 7 to... Link Removed

I would like to know about VMWare Player. First of all, I would like to know about the bios setup in VMWare. Now what I want to know is if the bios acts the same as the actual bios setup in my computer. And also, there is a Wake on Lan option in the VMWare player bios setup. Now does this really...

Hi all, As the title states, I'm planning to build my own renderfarm with a termserver and wake on lan. This looked like the right place to ask if what I want is possible and if so, what it would take: This is the ideal situation I would like: I'd like my network to include my workstation...

I've been fiddling like mad for a couple of days now with a new Win7 Ultimate x64 machine "desktop", and using an old XP Pro machine as a fileserver, the last few hours getting the XP machine, which is rather old, to respond to Wake On LAN. I've been trying to track down why the DSL router is...

I know this is a well worn topic, but I can't seem to find the answer. My ASUS P8Z68-Vpro Windows 7(64) system will go to sleep manually (from the shutdown menu). I have power management set to turn off the monitor and go to sleep after one minute. After a minute the monitor turns off, but...
