Scenario:
Work LAN.
Target PC is running Win XP
My PC is running KUBUNTU
Changed BIOS to allow WOL (PCI and PCIE enabled in APM)
Open Device Manager in Target, Find Network card. Change Wake settings to magic packet and enabled.
I install etherwake
sudo apt-get install etherwake
I have the MAC address of the Target xx:xx:xx:xx:xx which I got by scanning the lan with nmap.
TEST
shutdown target (I was in a remote session so I opened cmd and typed
shutdown -s
from Terminal
wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
BAZINGA! It works.
Wake on lan allows you “always access” without the power consumption of “always on”.
