If multiple IP addresses are assigned to an adapter, the operating system may request to wake up on ARP patterns querying any of the assigned addresses.

Magic Packets - accept only patterns containing 16 consecutive repetitions of the adapter's MAC address.ĭirected and Magic - accepts the patterns of both directed packets and magic packets.Ĭhoosing 'Directed Packets' will also allow the adapter to accept patterns of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) querying the IP address assigned to the adapter. OS Controlled - accept all the patterns sent by the OS.ĭirected Packets - accepts only patterns containing the adapter's Ethernet address in the Ethernet header or containing the IP address, assigned to the adapter, in the IP header. For more information on Ethtool, see the following Web site. For Red Hat Linux, WoL is provided through the Ethtool* utility.

You can configure the driver to the following settings using Intel PROSet for Windows. The wake up capability of Intel adapters is based on patterns sent by the OS. UDP port is optional (default is 9 - discard).I found following for further readings here.subnet mask (the subnet directed broadcast is calculated from the IP and mask), if you don't fill up the mask, the packet is sent as a unicast.last IP address of your computer (or the IP address of your router for forwarding or the address of the subnet directed broadcast).The router forwards it as a local broadcast or unicast on all of its local ports. You send Magic Packet to the public IP address of the router and a configured port. In this case you can configure forward rulewhen router listen for packets on some port and forwards them as broadcast or unicast to destination computer. You can configure router which have public IP address. The last possibility is more special and can be used for some home networks if you use NAT. If the last hop router has information about an IP address, we can send Magic Packet as a normal unicast, the router receives it and sends it to the correct subnet.Īnother way is we could use Subnet Directed Broadcast (this packet is sent as unicast until it reaches the last hop router and this router sends it as a broadcast to the correct subnet), but because of security reasons the subnet directed broadcast is normally disabled on routers. You will find various tools for all modern operating systems, including MS-Windows 8/10, Apple macOS & OS X, all modern Linux distros, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and many smartphones.

Turn off NIC has its own MAC address but doesn't have an IP address (association of MAC address and last IP address is in the memory of the router for some time). It would be best if you used software to send WoL ( Wake-on-LAN ) magic packets to the target system.

So the main problem is how to handle the packet reach network card of your computer. If your network card (NIC) is in Magic Packet Mode it listens for Magic Packet and if it recognizes its own MAC address inside, it turns on the computer. It sends a special packet called Magic Packet, which must reach your computer, and this packet contains the MAC address of your computer. I've implemented Magic Packet Technology aka Wake On LAN.

last hop router (closest to your computer) has to have subnet directed broadcast enabled or last firewall (device doing NAT) has to have a special forwarding rule created.

Your computer must be reachable from the internet (if you are over NAT, it's the only way to configure forwarding on your router/FW).

Your computer must be in soft shutdown (not turned off by long push of power button).

Wake On LAN must be enabled on your network card (its normally configured in BIOS).

But you must fulfill some (often not so easy) requirements: This page lets you wake up your computer remotely over the internet.
