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.
Jim

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Airtunes works with music but not with tv show

I have an AE wired to my to my A/V receiver and I play itunes music wirelessly thru the AE and it works fine. Problem: I downloaded a TV show and the audio will not stream via the AE and will only play thru the computer. The video works fine fine in both cases as I have it hooked to my TV via my A/V receiver from my Macbook display port. I am running itunes 8.1 and my AE is on firmware version 7.4.1.
Anyone know why the songs audio works and the tv show audio does not?

Thanks for that fast and definitely a fix at this time. It also works with internet radio, not just the iTunes radio stations. Now my wife will be able to listen to KFOG from San Francisco and I can actually hear my movies, since I am using a MacBook and it is just not loud enough.
Thanks Again Andy.
I love these forums.

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New GE70, killer e2200 working with WIFI but not by cable

Hi!
I bought a GE70 today and noticed that I can connect to the internet through WiFi but not with a network cable.
I've tried to upgrade drivers and such, but it still doesn't work. I've no router in this apartment so I'm using WiFi through my old laptop so I can figure this thing out.
What I've done so far:
1. Installed the drivers on the CD which I got with the computer. Although when on BigFoot LAN Driver, it says that I've already another version installed and need to uninstall it).
2. Downloaded the drivers for the network card through MSI homepage and installed. Funny thing, after that not even the WiFi worked.
3. Tried to unplug the power for the modem and wait a while and then plug it back in but that didn't work either.
4. Figured it might've been something wrong with windows so I did a factory recovery but that didn't seem to help either.
All I get when I plug the cable in, I get the "Limited access" (yellow mark) on the LAN icon down in the right side corner.
Has anyone else gotten this problem?
Kind regards,
W

Thank you for your reply.
I think I've got it sorted now. I tried another network cable and it works now.
It's weird however since the cable I've used for about a month now works with my old computer (Win7) but not with my new computer.
Gonna go to an electronic store later and see if it will make any difference if I buy a new cable.
Does the killer e2200 only accept certain sort of network cables?
Thanks again.
W
It really should work with any network cable to be honest, as long as it's not a PATCH cable. Patch cables are wired slightly differently, but they are rare anymore.

Dreamweaver CC works with github, but not bitbucket

I have Dreamweaver CC installed and try to use it with SVN.
On github it works just fine with HTTPS and an URL like https://github.com/username/project
But on the other hand, bitbucket give me an error message when using HTTPS and a URL like https://[email protected]/username/project.git//[email protected]/username/project.git
Dreamweaver
Auf den Server und das Projekt kann nicht zugegriffen werden. (OPTIONS of 'https://bitbucket.org:443/dorianvasco': 200 OK (https://bitbucket.org))
OK
My system: Win 7 X64; LAN Connection
Thanks for any advice. Do you need any more informations?

I've found a workaround for this (I'm using the Trial to push my bosses into buying but it should probably work with the final version too).
1.- Set up your site without check out or svn (save)
2.- Edit your site and add the check out option in servers - make sure you put in a name or it won't let you save later on (don't save)
3.- Set up your SVN info (say yes to disable check in)
4.- Save your site and exit Dreamweaver immediately
5.- Open registry editor and go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\13.0\Sites"
6.- In the list (-Site1,-Site2,-SiteN...) go to the site you want SVN on
7.- Find the key labeled "SiteServer N\Enable Check In/Check Out" (it should be a value of 0x00000000)
8.- Edit that key (right-click -> Modify...) and change the "0" to "1"
9.- OK out of regedit and close it
10.- Dreamweaver should now be able to connect to SVN without a problem
It looks like it's an error with the Site Manager in DW, since all I'm doing is changing a setting and it works fine.

Typekit works with Dreamweaver but not with Muse?

Why is it that I can use all Typekit's fonts together with Dreamweaver and not with Muse?
The fonts currently available via the TypeKit font menu in Muse (3.1) are of very low quality. 98% of them are "display type fonts" at best in my humble opinion. I need high quality fonts when designing high quality projects for my customers.
If I want to use Minion Pro or Futura in my Muse projects — are there any workarounds that does not get lost when I update the site with Muse? For example via the "HTML for <head>" field via the Page Properties dialog window in combination with some other Muse features?
Does the Adobe Muse Team (or someone else) have a step-by-step guide how to accomplish this?
Thanks a lot!
Kudos to The Adobe Muse Team – Muse is a fantastic piece of software. Easy to work with and really fun to use. Looking forward to the next update!

This is strange, but hopefully good.
I searched for Typekit, fonts and Muse etc on the forums before posting and did not get any relevant hits. But now I think I've found the workaround in the column to the right of this very post under the headline "More Like This".

Flash Player works with IE7 but not Firefox 2.0.0.4

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Using Firefox
Plugin icon (like part of a puzzle) required appears at top
of page with message "Click here to download plugin" when I go to
http://www.mclaren.com/ Most of
the page appears but top does not.
Try to download Adobe Flash Player Plugin Setup
Get the following message
'Adobe Flash Player Plugin Setup
The following applications need to be closed before the Adobe
Flash Player Plugin can be installed:

So I closed all programs including Firefox
Opened Internet Explorer and went to site
http://www.mclaren.com/ where
Plugin icon (like part of puzzle) appeared under Firefox. The
Plugin icon (like part of a puzzle) does not appear but a changing
graphic appears
I opened the list of installed programs - Control
Panel/Uninstall
I see that Adobe Flash Player ActiveX as being installed on
16/06/07 but the file size in blank
Using AVG 7.5 anti-virus so Norton Anti-virus is not on the
computer any longer except still have to uninstall Live Update 3.2
which would not install with Norton Anti-virus and requires a
special uninstall program
What do I need to do to get Flash Player to run when I am
using the Firefox browser?

Not works means you get a blank screen as the webpage; works is when you have to allow Flash Player to run "outside of protected" mode several times to get the website to come up.
Try www.wzeconsulting.com on the three browsers to see what I mean. wzeconsulting.com is not some spam site, it is the site for a business in China that I work with.

Slide show works with Safari but not Firefox!

I'm baffled: I was swapping out some new .jpgs for my site's looping photo slide show on the top of every page, everything was working fine 2 days ago and then... nada. I didn't change anything to cause it AND it displays fine with Safari. I'm pretty sure I have all my plug-ins up to date etc., so WTF?!?!?! Thank you.

Perhaps "slideshow" isn't the best description (I am NOT a programmer). There are six images inside the wood-looking frame on the top of EVERY page, which used to cycle through on a loop. I can still see them with Safari, but although I didn't change anything when swapping out the jpgs a couple of days ago (and they worked fine until yesterday)... they're no longer viewable on Firefox. Again... WTF?!?!?

Mic works with SoundRecorder, but Not Skype

I've used Skype for years. Today, I can't get the microphone to work with Skype 7.4.0.102.
I can record using my headset mic with MS's SoundRecorder, but no sound seems to be detected with Skype. I tried restarting, but that didn't help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I made sure I had the latest Realtek HD Audio driver from my computer maker. I used the Realtek HD Audio interface to set the mic gain to +20 db and turned off audio effects. I also adjusted Skype’s audio settings, but Skype 7.5 still required me to SHOUT to be heard. (I’ve used Skype for 7+ years, so I’m used to making sure my mic is setup correctly before making a call.)
Thanks to a private Skype Community message from Capreolus, I was able to download the full-version of Skype v6 point 21.
I can now use Skype with a normal speaking voice. (Hurray!)
Of course, I’ve had to disable automatic Skype updates and say “No” to updates for the near future.
It’s too bad the tech people at Skype don’t seem to be able to duplicate the problem. My computer’s only 2 years old, so recent software it should work fine.
