No WOL in Windows 7

I am running Boot Camp 3.1 with Windows 7 64bit on my iMac 27" (2.8 GHz Quad-Core). Everything runs fine so far, except Wake On LAN. When Win7 goes to sleep I can wake it up once, but after the next sleep it cannot be turned on again with a magic packet. I've tried that under OS X and this works without any problems. I found out that if I change any parameter in the advanced tab of the "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" device properties the driver will be reloades with the result that I can wake it up once again. I assume that this is a problem with the network card driver, but installing the latest from the Broadcom website did not work.
I'd really like that to work, because I'd like to have the iMac sleep while I don't use it. So any help is very appreciated!

My macbook pro has the same nic driver like my imac - but with the macbook wol is working perfect. So this is a little confusing and I'm not sure if this is a driver issue. Anyway I have a solution that works. The thing is, that wol only works one time after startup/standby but when you disable and enable the adapter its working again. So look for devcon (microsoft device control under console cmd) in 64 bit version. Do “devcon find =net” and look for your nic. Write a batch file like the following but chage the parameter with your nic:
C:\Devcon.exe disable "@PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_1684&SUBSYS_168414E4&REV10\4&27724676&0&00E0"
C:\Devcon.exe enable "@PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_1684&SUBSYS_168414E4&REV10\4&27724676&0&00E0"
Start this batch (taskplanner) during wakeup – that’s it.

Remote startup and shutdown of of PXIe controller running Labview RT (WoL)

I would like to be able to remotely start up and shut down a PXIe-8133/PXIe-8130 controller remotely over the LAN.
I can see that the hardware specs for the PXIe-8133 supports wake on lan (WoL), but I'm not sure about the 8130 (although it seems to respond to the network when asleep).
I have seen the guide for configuring WoL under Windows, but I do not have Windows installed on these controllers, so how is WoL configured if I only have Labview RT 2011?
And the 2nd part of my question is whether Labview RT supports a way to programatically shut down the controller? I'd like the controller to shut down when the startup application terminates. I've found the RT Restart Target VI, but not one for shutting down.

Hey there.
Power management on a PXI controller isn't well supported (or supported at all, really). WoL is only supported via Windows, LabVIEW Real-Time does not support the WoL feature. Shutting the controller down is only supported in LabVIEW 2012 and newer via the power button on an express chassis; LabVIEW Real-Time cannot programmatically kill the power on the controller, but it can put itself into a safe state (i.e. shut down) when the power button tells it that, "it has 13 seconds to shut down or else."
Power Management is on our roadmap, and is being considered for future versions of LabVIEW Real-Time.

Mac Pro sleeps after being woken up by WOL

Hi Folks
In order to wake up my Mac Pro on demand, I have set up Wake Over LAN (WOL) over the network and enabled "wake for network access" at System Preferences > Energy Saver on the Mac Pro. Now I am able to wake up the machine from my local router or across the Internet, but just wake up for a little while only.
The issue is, after the Mac Pro is being woken up by WOL for about 30 seconds, the machine always goes into sleep mode again for no reason. During the short alive period, the virtual machines running on the Mac Pro are pingable but the monitors are not on and the replaying YouTube video has no audio.
However, if I click the mouse or press the keyboard, the Mac Pro can be woken up as expected: the monitors are powered on, YouTube video is audible, all VMs are pingable too.
Why does my Mac Pro get woken up this way? How to fix it?
Thanks heaps in advance.
Regards,
B

> Now I am able to wake up the machine from my local router or across the Internet, but just wake up for a little while only.
From my local router, I use below way to wake up the Mac Pro.
I can also wake up the Mac this way over the Internet.
For your information, I can successfully wake up other WOL enabled Windows machines this way on the same network with no problem.
As mentioned, both ways can only wake up the Mac Pro for about 30 seconds, then machine will automatically sleep again though at System Preferences I have set the computer to sleep after "3 hrs" or "never", as shown below.
What I expect is just to make the Mac Pro back to work the same way like I locally press the keyboard or click the mouse, not to automatically sleep again in seconds.
Any thought please? Thanks!

Please explain specifically how you are trying to WOL, what you want to accomplish by doing so, & how long you think whatever it is you want to accomplish should take.
Also, what VM's are you running & by what method do they run (like via Parallels or whatever).

Script to enable WOL for list of computers in CSV format

We are looking to enable Wake On LAN in our environment of 30,000+ workstations. I have been successful in getting the workstation to wake up, but I had to manually a) change the BIOS setting to enable WOL and b) change the Adapter setting enabling
power management and WOL in Windows.
We will be piloting this to 250 or so workstations, to see the functionality of getting WOL to work (for software updates in the middle of the night). However, we don't want to have to "touch" each and every one of them. Thus, I'm looking to create
a VBS script to enable WOL and having it reference a CSV file that contains a list of workstation names.
Any help would be great!
Thank you!

Hi,
If you have Dell machines, you can use their CCTK to adjust the BIOS settings:

I haven't used this tool in years, but I remember it being pretty friendly.

Wol - wont work

Have P7-1180t Windows 7-64 prof on homegroup with several XP clients. Want to awake P7 system from XP clients. Bios and adapters are configured for WOL, Powercfg confirms this with listing under "wake_armed". However P7-system doesn't awake (will awake from keyboard or mouse). Do I need to install a wire between adapter and motherboard? I'll appreciate any reply and/or suggestion.

Ethernet light remains on even when DV7 series laptop has been shut down

Product: HP Pavilion DV7-7008tx
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Issue: When I shut down my laptop and leave the ethernet cable plugged in, the ethernet light stays on. Removing the cable turns the light off, but putting it back in brings the light back on.
Is this meant to happen, or is there a way to stop this?
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Do you have the "Wake on Lan" setup in the BIOs? The feature allows the computer to be woken up my network inputs. You will need to boot into the BIO to turn off this feature. You may be able to disable this feature in Windows 7 as well. Here is a good article on how to disable/enable the Wake on LAN feature: Wake-on-Lan (WOL) for Windows 7 Made Easy!
Hope this helps!

Wake On Lan Problem

Hello,
I have enabled PME ON WAKE from the Bios currently I am using motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3.
I have enabled Wake on Magic Packet, Disabled Wake on Pattern Match, Shutdown Wake On Lan is enabled.
I have also created a Port Forward on my Virgin SuperHub.
But I am still unable to Wake on Lan? Is there anything else I can do.

Hi,
I bought a 2TB Western Digital internal Harddrive. But it shows up as only 1 TB when I try to Format the drive. It also shows as 1TB in Bios.
Western Digital Support told me to find out if my MB supports 2 TB disks.
My MB is : MSI P35 NEO Combo-F .

Hi!
I am an owner of a msi ge70. My notebook runs a MS-1757 model motherboard, from Micro-Star International Co. Ltd. My BIOS has version E1757IG6.710. I simply wonder does my computer support wake on lan? I mean waking up the computer remotely through sending magic packets?
Thanks in beforehand!
if it has no WOL feature in bios then it does not, but it can still be done if you etc enable WOL in windows and then put laptop in sleep it can be waked from there remotely but not from power off state.

K9AGM2-FIH: Wake-on-LAN ?

I love my K9AGM2-FIH but one thing that bugs me is I can't find a way to get WOL to work with the onboard NIC, my old motherboard (don't even remember model/brand right now) does this fine, which is great as I can SSH my linux box behind my router, and WOL the windows box up and RDP it. If I could WOL the new system that would be great. I am thinking of throwing an old 3com NIC into the PCI slot and see if it'll wake from PCI event, assuming the 3com will send one. I know it has a cable for WOL to connect to WOL connector equipped motherboards.. could also try a few other NICs..
But really I want a way to WOL it from the onboard :( shouldn't have to run extra NICs and such just to do this :(

Well I am inquiring with MSI and so far they indicate it should work as long as you have the PCI PME# wake up enabled in power management. Thing is I already tried enabling all the wake up events, so now we're playing the "What version is your board" and "What wake on lan software are you using" game trying to narrow down the problem. I hope they're right in that it's supposed to work, if we find a solution I'll update the thread here

Wake on LAN configuration on 4507R switch

Trying to configure Wake on LAN on a 4507R switch. I thought I would just get it working with devices directly attached to this switch before trying to expand the configuration to the rest of the network.
Followed this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5023/products_configuration_example09186a008084b55c.shtml
Between this and other web articles I’ve read, it seems fairly simple to configure. However, I haven’t gotten it to work yet. I can’t identify the correct udp socket(s) to try, even when using the same Solarwinds Wake On LAN software mentioned in the article. Am also using Wyse Device Manager to attempt to wake thin clients.
I’ve tried to use debug ip udp, but never see any entries listed for the transmission(s) by the host machine to the intended subnets(s).
Also tried using Wireshark, but I still don’t see the host transmissions from any device that I’ve tried sending the WOL packets from.
Does anyone know the socket(s) used by either of those two pieces of software for WOL packets?
TIA
Rick

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.

Need to remove the Shutdown option in Windows 8 since WOL behavior has changed

For those you who manage systems in an enterprise, you need to read the following article and test it out yourself before you respond.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2776718
This subject of removing just the shutdown option has been floating around for many...many years without any solutions but now with Windows 8 and it's new WOL behavior, we may need to find one since it may be impossible for System Administrators who manage
systems in the enterprise with tools like SMS/SCCM, will be unable to wake up the system if the end user shuts it down. There are all kinds of Group Policies, Tweak UI settings and reg hacks that have been discussed over the years but none of them are currently able
to remove just the shutdown option. Interesting enough, you can change the behavior of the power button to put the system to sleep or hibernate but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the same functionality with the Shutdown option
in the OS. Ideally, I am looking for a way to show only the Hibernate, the Restart and the Logoff option. Currently I can configure the system to show those three along with the Shutdown.

I ran into this too, but I found the solution, at least for my pc:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"PnPCapabilities"=dword:00000108
where the '\0000' could be another value, see in regedit.exe.
The reason this works is, in windows 7, the 2 checkmarks in the "Power Management"-tab of the Ethernet-controller's properties ('allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' and 'allow this device to wake the computer') were independent.
In windows 8 those 2 settings are dependent, meaning if you UNcheck 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power', you can not check 'allow this device to wake the computer'.
The DWORD_value in the registry has the following values:
0x118 = all checkmarks off (yes really)
0x010 = 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'
0x000 = 'allow the computer ...' + 'allow this device to wake the computer'
0x100 = all 3 checkmarks, the former 2 and 'Only allow a magic packet to wake this computer'
While I can not find the true logic in these value, value 0x108, has the required effect.
In the GUI, ( the "Power Management"-tab of the Ethernet-controller's properties) it still looks as if 'allow the computer...' is on, so do not change anything there.
Good luck!

Is it possible to use Desktop4.exe WoL without getting info window?

Hi folks,
is there a way to use the desktop4.exe for Wake On LAN without opening a
Message window indicating that the machine is now up and running?
I haven't found anything in the DOC regarding a "silent" option.
I'd like to user desktop4 for an automatic WOL call to machines tha has
been shut off by users even though they shouldn't do that. Those machines
are already monitored and all i need is a switch to prevent the window from
coming up.
Any hints are apreciated.

Launch a scheduled bundle at login window (after WOL awake)

Hi,
We want to launch a bundle for some workstations at a specific date and time. That will be run at night when no user are logon (using WOL to awake the computer). I'm trying to setup a test bundle that launch c:\Windows\notepad.exe and nothing.
There's specials settings to get this to work ? Is it because the computer is still at the Login window ?
The real bundle will copy some files and launch .vbs scripts. That can work ?
Any clue or step by step explanation will be very appreciated.
Regards,
Patrick

So I have to test my package by copy a file or modify a reg key or something like that ?
Does, in the System context, Netware volumes can be access (for the source of the files)?
Yes, it's ZDM 7. In fact, one of the thing done in the process it's to uninstall some apps including Zenworks agent (to be upgraded to ZCM 11).

You need to associate it to the workstation. Also note that stuff that
run in the system context cannot show anything on screen. This is ZEN 7
