How to start a computer remotely via the internet with WOL or wake on lan magic packets - HD video tutorial

In this video tutorial we will explain how you can start a remote computer with a small free program called Magic Packet Sender WOL.

First of all we have to check some settings of the network card and bios, network card must support Wake on Lan, most integrated network card on the motherboard supports Wake On Lan, NICs on pci hardly bear so the lower level options (due to cost reductions) actually cheap these NICs (10-15 ron) have only the bare essentials and nothing more.

Wake On Lan is not a problem for static IP connections but the problems occur when we talk about dynamic IPs, the problem with dynamic IP is that when you turn off the computer the connection is lost, we found a solution to this problem by using of a router together with a subdomain from DynDns, many routers have support for Dynamic Dns, meaning they are able to update the IP and send it to the DynDns server whenever it changes, so we no longer have to worry about the IP dynamically, apart from that we have the advantage of a free domain like: "name.homeip.net" where instead of "name" you can pass anything that comes to mind, you can pass your name or just a funny word.

After you have solved it with the settings in the router from the section Dynamic Dns you have to make a Virtual Server or Port Forwarding for the Ip of the computer you want to wake up, even if we have only one PC you still have to do Port Forwarding for port “9” on the “UDP” protocol, the IP for which Virtual Server (port forwarding) is to be made should look something like this: 192.168 ……

The application that we use is very simple to use, simply install and launch it, we need to know the IP of the computer you want to wake him and MAC network card, in case of dynamic IP will It is created by DynDNS domain and also MAC network card then press the SEND button.

This video tutorial deals only with the static and dynamic IP method from RDS (PPPoE connection), for the clients from Romtelecom (clicknet) the words in the tutorial are not valid, I will try to make a video tutorial dedicated especially to this type of connection because there is more to talk about and the complexity is greater, which is why I decided not to address the subject of Romtelecom in this tutorial, the clicknet network requires a different approach due to the fact that it is built on telephone cable and it does not offer such elasticity the sea we need.

We wish you a pleasant and please refrain from jokes do not abuse this method to turn computers acquaintances, is not pleasant start to your PC out of nowhere on your computers use this method.

  • hello. it's the second time I'm banned on the site for no reason. I've read the rules so many times and I haven't broken any. I think because of the fact that my ip is on several people. I think ... please ajutatima!

  • I tested this thing to turn on the computer to a friend iam called IP Macu the other and then checked whether the flashing lights on the NIC when the computer is off and worked and then I went to my house and gave that message of awakening that to speak to his computer and functioned with complete success, my friend's computer was on when I sent that message and my friend stayed videotutorial uimit.Eu will say this will work if all of the conditions that th century showed Cristi told there but if you miss any merge.merge not think it will 1000 1000% if you follow the rules and do exactly as in videotutorialul made Cristi.

  • I have a static ip intrebare.Ce is dynamic and how to find out what kind of dynamic ip or static..MERCI MUCH !!!

  • Hi .. I tried to make the settings on the network card and I do not have the option shutdown wake on lan .. can you help me ... ??

  • Please long, long, and a tutorial for customers from Romtelecom (ClickNet)

    You're the best !!!

  • @Adrian: A static IP is an IP that you do not change it tomorrow and after tomorrow the same, and one is a dynamic ip which change every restart the PC connection to the internet or every time you boot up your PC !! To see what kind of IP you, write in google my ip you enter, click on the first result and see what ip you, then do you restart your PC and go and google, write and my ip and see if the same ip as the one before you restart or another, if you altu means that you have a dynamic ip or how she mention some root if it is the same as before the restart means you have a static ip, fixed!

  • @geolino: Forget the whole tutorial and don't run anymore !!! It has been said that you must have a PC at least 3-4 years old to have that setting, and you can find that setting on the integrated network cards, not on the ones you buy with 150 thousand pieces! Congratulations Cristi, very much! ;)
