AND that's the problem. My pad, notebook etc., can wake my HTPC, but my desktop (with WIN7 just re-installed) can not - well it can if I have a program called wakeonlan "scan" the whole network.
ANY ideas?
Let me clarify, I do use, as noted, wakemeonlan, BUT on THIS machine it will only wake the HTPC if I run it in scan mode.
I've tried just about every program out there, and none will wake it with just the MAC/IP (not used)/Port Number (not used) - from the commandline.
I found one, a dandy, that will actually work, but it's GUI driven - doesn't appear to be any commandline options - which is what I'd like - but I'm trying to figure out WHY I can't send out a wol packet that works from this computer.
