Wake on Lan problems

wildest_jjk · 15 Mar 2012 at 11:06

Hey guys,

I did post in another area, but figured it's probably best here.

I am trying to implement wake on lan but I am not being very successful. I have port forwarded ports 7 and 9 on my thomson router to my PC and I have also checked to see if the ethernet adapter is enabled for WOL.

I am still unsuccessful and think it might be something to do with the motherboard? But I can't find a BIOS option.

What do you guys think?

Thanks

Thanks for all of the responses.

The motherboard is an MSI P67A-GD65. I have tried a packet sniffer and it sometimes detects the packet. However this was using the public IP is this right?

What software/websites do you guys recommend?

Thanks

Right so I have made some progress having enabled the 'Wake up from PCI or PCI-e' setting in the BIOS.

I am now able to wake up my computer from sleep mode but only sometimes from shutdown. I am really not sure why this is though?

These are the settings that I have been using.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks

Anyone?

Thanks for the responses.

Will this batch file method work over the Internet then? Because surely it is the same principle? If the router doesn't allow it, it isn't going to work?

Cheers.
