Wake on LAN not working on an MSI P67A-GD65?

[Shyatic]

I can't seem to get it to work, and on a related note, can't even find the option in the BIOS anywhere.

I initially had the wakeup controlled by the BIOS, and it didn't work worth a damn; so I swapped it to the "OS" and that seems to work on a normal wake up (hit the power button, it wakes up).

But my PC also is my media center, and I want my XBox to be able to wake it up when it's searching for a media center. Anything I'm missing folks? I have the graphical bios so not sure if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

I've got a similar question for my ASRock E350M1 (Zacate) mobo. It came with a graphical UEFI BIOS, and I didn't see any settings for "Wake on LAN".

From what I gathered here is some tips people said to get it working on C43 & C45 boards, some what similar to the GD55.

Have you tried this -

"You have to enable "Resume by PCI or PCI-E Device" from Wake Up Event Setup and that's it."

WOL = Wake a Computer from being Off through Magic Packet sent to the Motherboard that is WOL compatble.

What the thread is talking about is wake On LAN traffic. I.e the computer is On but is Sleeping.

That is a function usually set in the Network Card Drivers.

Look here and see example of one specific card's drivers (look at the entries at the bottom of the Drivers' Windows selection.

BTW, WOL does not work with Wireless unless One has a special Wireless card that was design for it.

What OS? WUoL will not work in XP IF the vendor correctly implemented it. The ACPI version supported in XP (1.2 IIRC) does not support it (off). It 'seems' to work as it was not correctly implemented almost everywhere. I cannot remember if it was in Vista as it was 5 years ago I was working on it. We were in the "ACPI 2.0 will be in the next version" mode then. ACPI 2.0 was on by default. It was an oversight by the committee. MS implemented 1.2 as it was written for that part. 3Com NICs correctly set the setting as told from the OS not to wake. Intel and Broadcom ignored it and worked on the MAC repeat. So, if you are running an Older OS, it could be working 'correctly'.
