Wake On Lan

This may seem like a dumb question, but how do you use the Wake on Lan functionality of a NIC? All I can find anywhere is that you just send a magic packet to the machines MAC address. Well, how do I send this magic packet? Is there some program I can download?

Thanks!
 
Most cards with WOL capability come with a utility that will send the "magic packet". If you can find a copy of Intel Landesk (I think that's the name) that'll do the trick as well.
 
I looked in the CD that came with it, and I found RealMP9x. However, when I run this, it gives me a VXD error. Are there any programs that are Windows 2000/XP compatible? I find it hard to believe there isn't a program somewhere that I could download.
