• TeamViewer Wake On LAN You can turn on and off a computer using the LAN-on-LAN feature of TeamViewer. You can control the computer offline by remotely awakening before establishing a connection. You can start the wake-up request from another Windows or Mac computer, or even from an Android or iOS device running TeamViewer Remote Control.
• Wake on LAN is a cross-compatible protocol that can be used with TeamViewer on Windows, Windows 10, macOS and Linux devices. This versatility ensures that any technical support offered using WoL is consistent across machines; no matter your customers’ or clients’ preferred operating systems, you can move seamlessly between them.

Dynamic DNS for TeamViewer Wake on Lan. It is possible to have WOL port-forwarded directly form internet into your LAN but some firmware won't allow you to forward to the broadcast address so you need to 'spoof' a new broadcast address by mapping that magic MAC address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) to a different IP and forwarding to that.

there's this one too http://www.dslreports.com/wakeup

Yeah, but it looks like that's for sleeping computers on the same LAN as the one you're currently on. This hint is more for people that want to wake up their Mac remotely via the Internet like if you wanted to access your home computer from the office or a friend's house but it's asleep.

So it seems.
But actually it works over the internet if you manually add the host with IP-Address and Ethernet-ID.
I use it for remotely waking an iMac behind a NAT that i have to access for screensharing.

Believe it or not, some people are forced to use a PC at work, and this solution won't work =( The poster's idea is good.

This does not work if you are behind an Airport router, even if you're hard wired via the ethernet port.
The Airport router does not forward the 'wake-up' packet.

If the router implements port forwarding correctly any old port shouldn't allow a WOL packet into the network (read big security hole). WOL is a UDP packet sent to port 9 and with a proper router you would need to forward UDP/9 to the system you want to wake up.

Actually, that's only partially true. A wake on lan frame can be embedded in any protocol and is nothing more than a specific stream of data. It's composed of 6 bytes 0xff followed by the MAC-address (ethernet address) repeated at least 16 times, ie

to wake a computer with the MAC-address 00:11:22:33:44:55. The first six bytes are for syncronization, and the rest identifies the computer. This can, as I said, be embedded in any protocol, or, for that matter, as a raw ethernet frame. UDP-packets seems to be the most common solution though, probably because it's simplicity.

Anyway, it ought be quite difficult to detect this kind of data stream (at least without false positives), and as far as I can tell, it's possible to insert a packet (ie TCP-packet) containing the magic string through a firewall. This, of course, may or may not be the case in the hint :)

My iBook is connected to the Internet wirelessly, but I wanted it off when I wasn't using it, too. What I do is leave the modem cable connected and enable 'wake on modem ring'. Then, when I want to wake the iBook up so I can SSH in to it, I ring my house.

You Sir (or Madam) are brilliant.
I've never been entirely comfortable with the thought of sending WOL packets across the Internet (particularly since the mechanism was really designed for intranets and lacks any form of authentication) except with a VPN router, but the idea of using a POTS ring just to wake a sleeping Mac is perfect!
Not only is the wakeup signal (ring) kept safely 'out of band' with the SSH connection itself, but I'm thinking it may even be possible to target the Mac so that it only wakes up when specifically selected. How? By using one of those 'comm-share' boxes that allows you to re-direct incoming calls/rings by sending a touch-tone sequence during the initial ring. (These boxes are often used to share an incoming line between a phone, answering machine, fax and modem)

OK..i just spent 3 or 4 hours trying to figure this remote wake up problem out. Timbuktu is useless without being able to wake up my sleeping office computer. It amazes me that a product that complex CAN NOT do this (i just called and confirmed this). It has to be nearly 100% of their users have this problem. Hell, that's what the program does is remote communication.
So about an hour ago I got this modem idea..and then saw this post. Hell, this is my next thing to do when I get back to the office: hook up my old phone line to the modem. Duh.
I have iChat running and can see if my computer wakes up or not :)

This is a great thread, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to make WOL work when you have OS X set to 'Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver' in the Security control panel. When the password setting is on, waking the machine just shows a login screen, and it quickly falls back asleep when I have no way of entering the password from my remote connection.
I feel like I shouldn't have to give up security just so I can wake the machine..

Any solution to the fall back asleep after 30 seconds when a password is set - besides no password or no sleep?

isnt your MAC address protection enough?

I was successful in waking my G5 PowerMac, but neither of my iBooks appear to respond (even after shutting down the firewall, setting the correct options, plugging in the adapter, etc.)

is it this perl script that would let you build a wake function on your own website(like dslreport, just with fixed addys in a single button) and if so. any hints on how to incoporate it in a html/flash site?

Setup Teamviewer Wake On Lan

Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is a network standard that allows you to remotely connect a computer, whether it is asleep, sleep, or even completely disconnected. It works by receiving the so-called “magic packet”, which is sent from the WoL client.

It also does not matter what operating system the computer will boot into (Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, etc.), you can use Wake-on-LAN to turn on any computer that receives a magic packet. The computer hardware must support Wake-on-LAN with a compatible BIOS and network interface card, so not every computer can automatically use Wake-on-LAN.

4 Steps total

Step 1: BIOS setup

The first thing you need to do to enable WoL is to set up the BIOS correctly so that the software can listen for incoming wake up requests.

Each manufacturer will have unique steps, so what you see below cannot accurately describe your installation. If these instructions do not help, find out your BIOS manufacturer and check their website for a user guide on how to enter the BIOS and find the WoL function.

1. Enter the BIOS instead of booting into your operating system.
2. Find a section that relates to power, for example, Power Management. This may be in the Advanced section. Other manufacturers may call it Resume On LAN, for example, on a Mac. On most BIOS screens, there is a help section on the side that describes what each setting does when it is turned on. It is possible that the name of the WoL parameter in your computer's BIOS is unclear.
3. Once you find the WoL setting, you can most likely press Enter to immediately switch it or show a small menu that allows you to turn it on and off, as well as turn it on and off.
4. Save the changes. This is not the same on every computer, but on many F10 keys it will persist and exit the BIOS. The bottom of the BIOS screen should give some instructions on saving and exiting.

Step 2: Installing WoL in the Windows operating system

Windows Wake-on-LAN is configured through the device manager. Here you can configure several settings:

1. Open the device manager.
2. Find and open the Network Adapters section. You can ignore any Bluetooth connections and virtual adapters. Double-click (or double-click) Network adapters, or select the small + or> next to it to expand this section.
3. Right-click or touch and hold the adapter belonging to the active Internet connection. Examples of what you can see are Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller or Intel Network Connection, but it depends on your computer.
4. Select 'Properties'.
5. Open the Advanced tab.
6. In the 'Properties' section, click or select 'Wake Up By Magic Package.' If you cannot find it, go to step 8; Wake-on-LAN can still work.
7. Go to the menu value on the right and select “Enabled”.
8. Open the Power Management tab. It can be called Power, depending on your version of Windows or a network card.
9. Make sure these two options are on: allow this device to wake the computer and allow only the magic packet to wake the computer. Instead, these settings may be under the Wake-on-LAN section and be a single setting called the Wake on Magic Packet.
If you do not see these settings or they are inactive, try updating the network adapter device drivers; but remember that it is possible that your network card simply does not support WoL. This is most likely true for wireless network interface cards (NIC).
10. Click or tap OK to save the changes and exit this window. You can also close the device manager.

Step 3: How to use wake-on-lan

Now that the computer is fully configured to use Wake-on-LAN, you need a program that can send the magic packet that is required to start the run. TeamViewer is one example of a free remote access tool that supports Wake-on-LAN. Since TeamViewer is designed specifically for remote access, its WoL feature is convenient for those times when you need to your computer when idle, but forgot to turn it on before you left.

TeamViewer can use Wake-on-LAN in two ways. One of them is through the public IP address of the network, and the other is through another TeamViewer account on the same network (provided that this other computer is turned on). This allows you to wake up the computer without configuring the router ports (more on this below), since another local computer where TeamViewer is installed can relay the WoL request internally.

Another great Wake-on-LAN tool is Depicus, and it works from different places. You can use your WoL function through your website without downloading anything, but they also have a GUI and command line tool available for both Windows (free of charge) and MacOS, as well as for mobile applications Wake-on-LAN for Android and iOS.

Some other free Wake-on-LAN apps include Wake On LAN for Android and RemoteBoot WOL for iOS. WakeOnLan is another free WoL tool for macOS, and Windows users can also choose the Wake On Lan Magic packages.

Step 4: Troubleshoot wake-up problems over LAN

If you followed the steps above, it turned out that your device supports Wake-on-LAN without any problems, but when you try to turn on the computer it still does not work, you may also need to turn it on through the router. To do this, you need to log in to your router to make some changes.
A magic packet that runs on a computer is usually sent as a UDP datagram over port 7 or 9. If this is the case with the program that you use to send a packet, and you try to do it from outside the network, you need to open these ports on router and redirect requests to every IP address on the network.
Redirecting WoL magic packets to a specific client IP address will be meaningless, as the computer with the power off does not have an active IP address. However, since port forwarding requires a specific IP address, you must ensure that the port (s) are redirected to the so-called broadcast address so that it gets to each client computer. This address is in *. *. *.
For example, if you specify the IP address of your router as 192.168.1.1, use the address 192.168.1.255 as the forwarding port. If this is 192.168.2.1, you should use 192.168.2.255. The same is true for other addresses, such as 10.0.0.2, which will use the IP address 10.0.0.255 as the forwarding address.
You might also want to consider signing up for a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service, such as No-IP. Thus, even if the IP address associated with the WoL network changes, DNS will update to reflect this change and still allow you to wake the computer. DDNS service is really useful only when you turn on the computer from outside the network, for example, from your phone when you are not at home.

  Is this info not readily available ??

  Then since you brought up WOL using Teamviewer (or other remote access software), are you very sure thats all you need to remotely power up a PC via the Internet ?
