WOL to cable or not to cable??but I would like to turn it on remotley, by using WOL. The motherboard supports this, and I have set the bios to ON for this option, however I cannot seem to make it wake up. This works for another computer on the same lan its a pentium 4 though.... in any case I was thinking perhaps that it was that cable needed for this older machine that connects the nic card with the motherboard.. but I attached that and it still doesnt work... the computer connects to the lan and internet without a problem... I have not really understood the function of this cable, some WOL systems work without it connected, even if the motherboard and the card have the sockets for it.... stranngeee.... any ideas?? Have you identified the motherboard by make and model? Have
you downloaded the mobo manual? Have you set the BIOS to WOL? Have you checked that all power connections are properly wired according to the mobo manual?

I did that all before I posted....and it didnt work but what about the WOL cable? What is its function and why do some computers do WOL without a cable even though the mobo and the nic have sockets for the cable?

wired already, if you use a separate NIC card in a PCI slot, it doesn't have power or drivers until the computer is booting, the wire provides the 5 V it needs to work. The only thing I can think of that you may not have properly connected or set something. Only suggestion I have is to run through the set-up again, from hardware , BIOS and other possible power settings. Google for "wake on lan" and you may find some useful info.

or, more recently, pins on the PCI bus. The other variable, besides the bios setting and the question of whether or not the additional cable is needed--is the nic driver--The driver must support WOL in order to turn on the functionality. Trying new nic drivers may help. -- Show quoteHide quote"John Jay Smith" <-> wrote in message news:uSaVKLG6GHA.4476@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Yes > I did that all before I posted....and it didnt work > > but what about the WOL cable? > What is its function and why do some computers do WOL without a cable even > though the > mobo and the nic have sockets for the cable? > > "Jim Macklin" <p51mustang[threeX***@xxxhotmail.calm> wrote in message > news:%23Zwfs8F6GHA.4572@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Have you identified the motherboard by make and model?
