Re: WOL

Dell machines generally need to have thair NIC settings changed to enable the standard Magic Packet WOL programs to work (many seem to miss this and think Dell has some problem).

In Windows / Device Manager / Network card properties / Advanced

find 'Wake on Settings' at the bottom of the list and select 'Wake on Magic Packet' (the default is 'OS Controlled').

Post back if this works - or not.

We have a Dell PowerEdge 2800 with x2 gigabit NICs with PXE enabled. I believe PXE is to do with WOL - (wake on LAN)?

If the server is swithed off can I wake the machine up? I have downloaded various free WOL programs and it is not working!

Help!
