Hey All,
Has anyone got WOL (wake on lan) working on a gigabyte Z77X-D3H based system?

There doesn't seem to be a setting in BIOS unless I'm missing something :confused:

Cheers!
 
Finally got it working from shutdown and sleep! :D

Previously I followed another guide but it still wasn't working, managed to dig out the link here: http://windows7-issues.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/wake-on-lan-wol-for-windows-7-made-easy.html

There are some things I can't find mentioned anywhere that resolved the issues I was having, here we go...

1st problem: BIOS & Windows already setup but only WOL from shutdown would work, I use sleep NOT hibernate/hybrid sleep and it wouldn't wake from sleep.
Solution: Enable hybrid sleep then disable it again.
Run in commandline:
Code:
powercfg -h on
powercfg -h off
2st problem: Only some applications / devices wake the computer in from all states
Solution: If there is a port number setting in the app change it from UDP 9 to 7

and there we have it, worked for me! Maybe it will help anyone else having similar issues.
