Premgenius Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 How does this really work can it start a computer from being off or does it just start it from standby? How do you make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 you need to connect the WOL cable that came with your NIC to the mobo, near all the 'case plugs' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premgenius Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 I see so it does not start the machine from being off, mines it a onboard NIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Actually, my modem and LAN card can both turn the computer on. Configure it in the BIOS, under 'Power Management' or something. Just try and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted January 25, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2004 Yeah, I have an MS NIC (no cords to the mobo) and it turns on my system if I shut it down. I keep forgettign to turn it off and it scares the hell out of me when i tur nmy system off, open it, and have it suddenly turn on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerkPY Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 There might be a switch on your mobo as well, which might be off as default. Mine was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^Monoxide Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hello , Get your mobo instructions out and have a look for WON . Or In your networking config there should be some thing [ depending on your OS ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
