Both the Motherbaords and NIC have to support it for it to do what you want. And, in the case of a non-integrated NIC card, be sure the wake on LAN cable is hooked between the WOL header on the mobo and the NIC card. -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/ |

And, in the case of a non-integrated NIC card, be sure the wake on LAN cable is hooked between the WOL header on the mobo and the NIC card. The cable is not needed for most any modern motherboard, as they can be set in the BIOS to respond to PCI wake-up events. If the motherboard supports this it doesn't even need to "know" it's a NIC waking it up, there is no further support necessary. Cool...this just shows you how long it's been since I shopped that particular feature on mobo's and NIC's. :-) -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/ |

... ... The cable is not needed for most any modern motherboard, as they can be set in the BIOS to respond to PCI wake-up events. I have PCI wake-up option enabled in my bios (latest version) but nothing happens. I have a wireless network mounted at my home, with a router to share an Internet connection between this Desktop PC with ASUS mobo and a notebook. Everything is OK. The internet is accessible by both computers, and I can share files between them BUT I MUST POWER ON THEM MANUALY. Yesterday I tried to wake up my desktop computer by making a Remote Desktop Connection in my notebook, but it didn't wake up. |

Forgot to say that my ASUS mobo has built-in LAN support, and has a ATX
power supply. |

Yesterday I tried to wake up my desktop computer by making a Remote Desktop Connection in my notebook, but it didn't wake up. Look for "wake on PMI event" or something similar. Some "wake on LAN" systems wait for a "magic packet" before they wake up. |

Often all devices default to "off". Everything is OK. The internet is accessible by both computers, and I can share files between them BUT I MUST POWER ON THEM MANUALY. "Power on"? I was referring to a sleep mode, not off. If all these seem working you might check the network adapter driver properties (if you haven't already). Otherwise I don't know, am not familiar with that motherboard. Dave |
