Wake on lan (WOL) Not working at all
#1
Hello Guys,

So the last few days i've been tweaking around with my newly built HTPC but I can't seem to get WOL (Wake on Lan) working. I've been following this guide on the XBMC wiki page step-by-step and I didn't got any errors during the progress. (Wiki link: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...8Ubuntu%29).

I have succesfully enabled wake on lan in the bios and also created the init.d script. Now when I put the HTPC into Suspend or completely shut down mode and try to wake it up using another (windows) computer nothing just happens.

There are two things that might cause this problem:
1. When the computer is completely turned of or in Suspend mode the LED on the network port is not on? (Which means it's turned of or something)
2. The power supply I'm using has no physical ON/OFF button, so maybe the power supply is not giving any electricity to the mainbord for the wake on lan function to work. (But than also it could not be in suspend mode..)

HTPC Specs:
Mobo: Asrock E350M1/USB3
Case: Spire Power Cube SPM210 (With the included 300W power supply)
OS: Ubuntu 11.10

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.
(Sorry for my bad english)

Jordi
