WOL doesn't work

KRTac · 2010-06-10 14:30:16

I want to setup WOL on a Intel D510MO motherboard. The network adapter is a Realtek 8111DL Gigabit Ethernet Controller. I've followed the instructions on the Wake-on-LAN wiki entry but can't get wol to work.

lspci:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

ethtool eth0 | grep Wake-on:

Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g

The network is running over a Netgear router and I've forwarded the 49999 port to the machine that I want to wake up. I use wol to atempt a wakeup:

wol -p 49999 -i <IP> <MAC>

and nothing happens.

Can someone suggest a posible problem source. Can it be the router?

i think i had to use both -h for host and -i for ip. Also, i don't think forwarding a port is necessary. At least i didn't.
I use:
wol -h <HOST> -i <IP> <MAC>

This doesn't work either.

Did you enable WOL in your BIOS?

Yes. The bios has a "Wake on LAN from S5" setting for that purpose. The setting can be set to "Stay Off" and "Power-On".

I had it initially on Stay Off. When I turned the machine off, the router's LED indicator for the machine turned off (usually when I turn off any other computer that is connected to the router, the indicator turns orange). After setting "Wake on LAN from S5" to "Power-On", the indicator just keeps on glowing green, as of the machine is still turned on. I guess that the bios keeps the ethernet card running, so that's a good sign.

So, why doesn't it work then?

What is the ip address of your network?

What do you mean? My router assigns a ip address range from 10.0.0.2-50 via dhcp. I have the machine that I want to start with WOL on 10.0.0.50.

I would try wol -i 10.0.0.255 <MAC> or did you already try this?

Wow, thanks man. That worked! Why is that?
