Exactly what I needed
mjskrs- Pros
- If you know the MAC Address and subnet of a machine, and it has WOL correctly configured in the BIOS and OS then MagicWake will wake it up. Simple.
- Cons
- You can only wake one machine at a time, no lists.
- Summary
- I just needed something to send a magic packet to one or two machines that are normally asleep on my LAN. All my machines are running Windows 7. MagicWake allowed me to define a set of named machines, identified by MAC and subnet. Now when I need to wake one of them I just fire up MagicWake, select the machine I want and send the magic packet. This could not be simpler. If you are looking for something beyond the basic ability to send a magic packet to a single machine, either from a predefined list or by entering MAC+subnet manually then MagicWake is probably not for you. For me it was perfect.
Too hard to use to be of any use
chadbailey- Pros
- Can wake up 1 computer if you know the name, IP and mac.
- Cons
- Cannot do multiple machines, cannot save the data. Very time consuming to use.
- Summary
- If you are looking to wake up only one machine and know all of the data needed, it will work. More than one? Look for another solution. Wasted my time.
Does exactly what it says on the tin
ColoftheWild- Pros
- Exactly what I was looking for
- Cons
- Getting WOL to work is a pain, but this app can't be held responsible for that.
- Summary
- Don't use 255.255.255.x if you're on a router - use the first 3 quads of your local IP address and put 255 on the end, for example: 192.168.1.255 (the last quad, 255, tells the router to broadcast to all machines in the local subnet). Also, make sure that your BIOS is set to S3/STR sleep mode, and to accept Wake On LAN (or WOL, or similar) inputs - usually on the Power menu; then make sure your network card's Power Management has a tick next to "Allow this device to wake the computer", and on the Advanced tab ensure that anything like "Wakeup Capabilities" (that's what this PC has, YMMV) will accept a Magic Packet (if you've come this far and don't know what one of those is, google it). It can be a bit fiddly, but it works.
