Re: WAKE ON LAN tool

There's a useful WOL add-on to Windows Home Server. This gets the mac addresses from the WHS infrastructure somehow. Seems to work fine.

Perhaps I'm the only one using WHS in an SBS environment?

The Magic Packet program builds a list of all LAN workstations and their associated IP and MAC addresses. I use it quite to remotely turn on my client's workstations at night when they forget to leave them on for after hours maintenance.

Hi

Do you know of a tool that will do Wake on Lan based on the DHCP leases?

I have found several WOL tools but you have to manully look up the MAC address of the computers on the DHCP snap in and then manully type it on the WOL tool.

Do you know of any WOL tool that integrates/queries the DHCP leases automatically?

Thanks
