some help getting wake on lan to work please

[merk]

Hey all,

I have an asus pk5-se motherboard. Onboard nic.
I've tried to follow the thread here: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view...1&board_id=1&model=P5K

to get wake on lan working, but it's not. I've tried using 2 different websites that send a magic packet to wake it (along with setting up port forwarding on the router to my pc). I've also tried waking the pc directly from the router (router is running dd-wrt) but that didn't work either.

I've enabled pci and pci-e to wake the computer in the bios and in device manager i've unchecked the option to allow windows to turn off the nic to save power.

Any suggestions on how i can get this to work or at least trouble shoot what the issue is?

thanks

Read t6hses two pages and see if it resolve the issues.

Standby, Hibernation, Wake On Line. - http://www.ezlan.net/standby.html

Wake On LAN - Switch your computer ON through your LAN or the Internet.

Go into your NIC properties and click configure. On the advanced tab, see if there are any options for wake on lan or anything similar. I have 2 options in there that I have to 1, enable, and the 2nd, choose what type of wake up capability to accept (magic packet). Once those are enabled, go to the Power Management tab and ensure "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" is CHECKED.

I used this tutorial to get it working from a DD-WRT prospective: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL (don't worry about the Automatic WOL unless you need it).

One last thing I did that wasn't in the tutorial was on the Administration --> WOL tab. Check the MAC/IP combo of the PC you want to enable WOL for and Save the settings. At that point, you can manually try waking it from DD-WRT.

thanks for the suggestions. I finally got it working. I dont remember where i read it but one of the pages said to UNcheck the box under the nic power management to allow windows to turn off the device. When unchecked that i also lost the box to allow the device to wake up the computer. I also noticed the light on the switch went off when i powered off. I checked that box and checked the box to allow the nic to wake the pc and it started working.

Glad that it works.

However judging from your solution I have the feeling your are Not using WOL but rather get Out of StandBy on any Network Traffic.
