Hi
Use the same folder that the mc-vol.exe is. It might be that it is not in the patch of where the bat file is and the bat file can not find it.
Alternatively you can use this program that has GUI interface.

I used notepad and created a text file containing only this line:
mc-wol actual mac address

I named the file wol1.bat and saved it to my desktop. I doubled clicked on the batch file and the cmd window popped up for a second. Unfortunately the remote computer did not start.

I then open up the cmd window and typed the same "mc-wol actual mac address". Remote computer starts.

What am I doing wrong.

Alex

Hi
Sure make three batch files, each one includes in pure text the line "mc-wol Mac address" with the appropriate data. Save them as Wol1.bat, Wol2.bat. etc., to a Folder of you choice, and drag shortcuts to the Desktop. Double click on an Icon and it will execute the command inside the bat file.

I have 4 Windows XP Pro systems operating on a LAN. Three of these computers I start up remotely using the Run command "mc-wol Mac address". Is it possible to somehow automate this process by creating 3 seperate short cuts, one for each computer, that would simply this start up process?

Suggestions greatly appreciated.
