Just what the title says, I can't get it to wake up. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong. Here is my setup:
I have my main machine, which is connected to my wireless network with a usb adapter. This is the machine I will be sending the Magic Packets from.
I have my second machine, a thrown together piece o' junk, that works! My network card on the second machine supports WOL (it has integrated ethernet, VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter.)
I've used 3 different programs, one was a command-line utility, the second a utility I got off depicus.com, and the third one from AMD themselves.
Here is what I do (for testing):
Plug in the second machine by a RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the ethernet port on the computer to the router.
Turn off the second computer (start > shutdown > turn off)
Go to my main computer and open the app to wake on lan.
type in the second computer's MAC address, IP address on the network, which is 192.168.1.87, and the subnet mask, which is 255.255.255.0.
Click send packets and...nothing. The second computer remains resolutely set in the off mode.
I would very much like to be able to control the second computer from my main one without having to go to it and turn it on.
Can you guys help me out, is there a way to see if my packets are even reaching the target? I was looking at cain and abel and thought that might work, but I used that program during my Halo 2 modding phase and didn't like it. Could someone give me help with how to use it to tell if my magic packets are coming through to that machine, please.
Thank you.
