If you have local or remote Telnet/SSH access to your router, you can wake up a machine on the LAN by using the following command: Note: This is the preferred method to send WOL magic packets remotely. If you don't see the WakeOn-type options in your BIOS, usually somewhere in Power Management, your motherboard may not support WOL. Consult your motherboard's manual and BIOS screen (DEL at startup, usually). This feature, if optional, must be enabled in your BIOS otherwise WOL isn't going to work. Wake On LAN is usually disabled by default in most PCs. Once this step is working, you can go on to making WOL work when you are outside your LAN, such as at a cafe or another remote location. Hibernate, Standby, and Power-off the WOL computer, while clicking Send on the second computer, to test each mode to make sure WOL is working. Repeat the previous steps and go over the trouble-shooting tips until they work before proceeding. The WOL computer should respond with a pop-up box showing a packet was received. Use the command 'ipconfig /all' if you don't know what this is.
