Title: Help enabling Wake on Lan on my Miner?
Post by: autonomous42 on June 13, 2013, 04:38:57 AM
I know this isn't necessarily Bitcoin related but I need help making Wake on LAN work so I can power my miner from afar should it turn off.

Here's what I've already done:

1) Forwarded ports 9 and 7 on my router. Both TCP and UDP.
2) Set Windows to allow the computer to be woken up.
3) Enabled Wake on Lan in my BIOS/UEFI
4) I'm using a wired connection

What am I missing? Every time I send a magic packet, nothing happens.

The motherboard is an Asrock 970 Extreme4, I'm using its onboard NIC which is a Realtek RTL8167 and my router is a Linksys EA2700. The guide I used is here: http://windows7-issues.blogspot.com/2011/03/wake-on-lan-wol-for-windows-7-made-easy.html

Have you tried updating your mining client?

Don't listen to kodo...

I'm guessing you can ping etc i.e. the network is up.
Did you try the wol sniffer from http://www.profshutdown.com/download.aspx to confirm the packet is showing up?
Are you sending the correct MAC address of the target PC?  :-\
