Z9PE Wake on LAN

[gazza0371]

Hi There,

Has anybody with a Z9PE motherboard managed to get wake on lan working from a shutdown state?

I've upgraded to latest BIOS and LAN drivers (running Server 2008 R2) and set all the obvious settings yet it still won't wake up (might just be lazy

I've got another machine (P5Q Deluxe based) on the same network and that wakes perfectly.

Asus support aren't a great deal of use, just advising me to check the obvious settings that I've already made (Allow Wake from PCIE in BIOS)

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Fixed

Purely for reference in case anyone else has similar problems, this is now fixed.

Basically I had to do all the standard BIOS settings for power on by PCIE and disable Deep Sx settings, do the allow wake from shutdown at the NIC settings for the cards at the OS level, and the final trick was to connect both ports to my hub. In this config one card then seems to be happy to allow WOL from shutdown.
