wake on lan

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...

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...

When I turn on my brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop, my older PC also powers on. Turning on the PC does not power up the laptop though. Both are running 8.1 and both are associated with the same hotmail account. PC connected to router with Ethernet cable and laptop is connected to wifi. I can...

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...

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 got a Biostar TA790GXBE motherboard with onboard Realtek RTL8168D NIC. This has three boxes under Power Management: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power Allow this device to wake the computer Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer I've added a Realtek 8139B NIC...

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...

I have a desktop connected to a modem/router and a laptop connected wireless. I cannot print from my laptop unless I go to my desktop and "wakening" it up! Does anyone know how to fix this or "Wake Up" my desktop remotely?

My computer wakes from hibernation. I’m using windows 7 x64. My BIOS doesn’t support any configuration settings about wake, and the LAN device driver states that it doesn’t support wake on LAN. It’s a Dell Lattitude laptop, about 2 years old. No events are relevant. This started...

I am trying to set up Wake on LAN. My problem is that I keep losing power to my NIC when I shutdown the PC. If I hibernate, I can wake it up. But I want to shut the PC down totally, not hibernate. All the proper BIOS settings are enabled. All the proper NIC settings are enabled. All the power...

I have a USB Wireless N adapter(TP-Link WN722). I put in the registry entry I found on MSofts site (EnableWoWLAN), but the Allow this device to wake computer option is still disabled for the adapter. Does this mean my network adapter doesn't support WOL or am I missing something? I updated the...

A couple days ago, my computer hung after going into an idle induced sleep. It would not wake up. I had to power off. This problem continues. Another symptom is it will not shutdown or hybernate. It starts back up again. Things I've already done: Uninstall Roxio Turn off Wakeup on Lan...

I am very happy with the way Windows 7 wakes on lan from realvnc but i have had to go back to XP Pro on that machine due to its inability to show my SMB shares to my media player, ho hum. But now that I am back using XP on that machine with a clean install on reformatted hard drive the Wake on...

I've got a curious problem. Perhaps it's a simple and known thing but to me it's new. I've got to PCs running W7 build 7000 ultimate x64 and connected through a router. After I log into PC_A due to a restart or shut-down (never tried switching user) it makes PC_B to restart apparently from...

Machine is set to sleep mode, goes to sleep at the set time of 30 minutes, case power light is off, fans off. At about 5 minutes re-start and then turn off right away, power light stays on, fans stays off. Inboard IR doesn't turn machine on by remote, can turn on and off before case power...
