Wake on Lan with the Widget Designer

Postby Patrick Verhey » Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:34 am

Hi,

a small advice, as a lot of people asked me already, to the wake on Lan feature of the Widget Designer.

As the most people know you need to enable the "magic packet" and the "on from power off state" in the network card settings to be able to wake up computers. But on some mainboards you also need to enable the "switch on from power off state" in the bios as well. It this features is disabled you will never be able to wake up your computer.
But make sure that you do not enable the "start up on power on". This will cause that the computer will run up as soon as it gets main power connected. It can also cause that the computer will start up right after shutting down.

All Pandoras Box Servers (LT to PRO) are shipped with a motherboard where you do not need to access the bios.

best regards

Patrick
