Problem with waking HP computers #47

Open Schechter613 opened 7 years ago

Schechter613 commented 7 years ago

I use Wake on Lan very gratefully in my school domain, and I am successful with almost all of our computers (about 100, mostly Dell or Lenovo). I had to set the BIOS to allow waking, but once I learned the proper settings, it works perfectly. I have a few HP computers of various models, and I have been unable to make them wake, even though the ability to be awakened over the network seems to be set in the BIOS. Do you have any suggestions?

First, check that the NIC drivers are up to date and configured to allow Magic Packet.

Thanks for your quick reply. I did look at the properties of the NIC, and I removed the ability of the card to shut down the computer--it's a desktop, so I don't know why this exists, but disabling it didn't help, but curiously, when I re-enabled it, the WOL began to work. I'm afraid I changed some other setting and forgot about it. The second computer I haven't been able to deal with, apart from updating the NIC driver, which didn't help. Maybe on Monday. Thanks again
