can someone possibly help me as I cannot get WOL to work.

Went into BIOS under power management and enabled WOL

I have used this guide to set up. HOWTO: Set your system up for Wake On LAN (WOL

my ipconfig is

I put the script as

I got to the last set where it says enter in the terminal
and it does not show an error


Tried to suspend the system and then use WAKEONLANEx2 from a windows xp pc to wake it up (same network) and nothing happens.

Whats weird is that it will not take my MAC address (HWaddr 90:fb:a6:2c:b2:1f ) for eth0 as it says its invalid. It will however take the MAC Address wmaster0 address 90-4C-E5-4E-0D-CB and it shows that it sends out a packet however it does not wake up my htpc.

I tried to change the script from

to

and it gives me an error message saying

I then tried to follow this guide HOW-TO set up Wake-On-Lan (Ubuntu) and followed those steps also still nothing. I deleted this script however as it did nothing and didnt want to have two scripts that might be interfering with each other.

How can I check that the magic packs are being received by the computer? I think it has something to do with the MAC address but Im a linux noob and gettng kinda lost now, ANY help would be much appreciated.

I also have a another linux computer hooked up on the network to test however I want to WOL via the internet incase I am traveling and need to wake up my htpc.

Can anyone please help me as I think I have the scrips installed and Im just not doing something simple like configuring the magic packs correctly to send the information.

I think its the router MAC address that is stopping the magic packet from getting to my PC.

well I checked my router and it gives me three options for a router MAC address

use default address (currently on this option)
use computer mac address
use this mac address

However when I use computer mac address I lose the internet (do I have to update and configure everything all over again in the basic router settings i.e. IP address, DNS servers, etc..) my router is a netgear WNDR3300

I have also forwarded my router to port 7.

up for some help.

Old post - but google found it : just to confirm this does work.

You need to run :
on the acer to set the card to WoL - and in a couple of my machines this needs to be run *every* boot.

Then
works from another machine on the same LAN.

Incidentally you can *only* run WoL from another machine on the same network - not from anywhere on the internet so you'll need at least one local machine running 24x7 that you can login to remotely.
