With Wake-On-LAN to reactivate the Group residential access to a computer to sleep...

I have two laptops with Windows 7 (Pro 64).  I had both the join HomeGroup and could access shared folders.  I noticed that when a computer "sleep" disappears from the homegroup.  There is a note on the page of the homegroup password: "computers that are turned off or sleep does not appear in the homegroup.»  Elsewhere in TechNet I see information on WOL (Wake-on-LAN) of Windows capabilities on hardware that supports, and I selected "Allow this device to wake the computer" in Device Manager > network adapters > LAN_Adapter > power management tab.  But without success in waking a computer sleep to access remotely via homegroup.

Does anyone know if remote activation is feasible and how to activate it?

Thank you!

Hello

Wire or wireless?

If it wireless it will be the current wireless hardware does not work do not support this action.

Thread might or might not work depending on the hardware.

While many office computers would wake on network traffic, a lot of laptops would be not because they all plan material manufacturer to save energy.

There is nothing more that we can do about it in addition to checking the suite (not the magic packet) tab in the power management of the network card.

It is one of the issues that are still outstanding (hardware wise) in the entry level network business.

  • How to activate 802. 1 x with ' Wake on LAN ' EMS 2010 cisco?

    Hello

    We have acquired an EMS cisco 2010 to replace our distribution switch. I've implemented the 802.1 X network. Everything works great except that I can't find how to activate 802. 1 x with "Wake on LAN" on this kind of switch. You have an idea?

    The catalyst, I saw that it was sufficient to activate this control "control-direction authentication {times |}". in}.

    Except that it seems not to exist on this switch. Is there another way to activate 802. 1 x WoL without the help of this command?

    Or how to allow the magic packet (WoL) on a port marked by unauthorized 802.1 x?

    Thanks in advance

  • Cannot Wake-on-LAN none of the 790s OptiPlex

    We have several years of OptiPlex 790 in our environment. They all have the Intel 82579LM Gigabit NIC installed. When these devices are turned off, the led "Good link" on the card NETWORK does not, and I can't wake the machines via WOL.

    Here's what I did on all machines:

    • Consistent Wake-on-LAN in the BIOS
    • Tried every revision of BIOS from A05 to A11 (confirming that WOL is set to enabled after every update)
    • Installed the latest drivers for NETWORK card (both on the site of Dell and the Intel site OEM drivers)
    • With version 11.15.16.0 of the OEM Intel NIC driver installed, activated "Wake on Magic Packet", "Wake on Magic Packet of power off of the State", "Wake on Link" and "Wake on Pattern Match" in the power management tab.
    All other OptiPlex models in our environment are waking up very well (including machines in the same subnet and physical location as these years 790). Anyone run into this or found a solution? Thank you.

    If hibernation mode is enable WOL will not work. Must disable Deep Sleep in the BIOS if you want to use WOL

  • E7440 latitude: Wake-on-Lan works when the laptop is turned off, but not when it's put into hibernation

    I have a Latitude E7440 running a clean install of Windows 10. If the computer has been stopped, I can use a Wake - On - Lan Magic Packet to the MAC address of the Ethernet port (as described here) to turn the computer back on. But if the computer is in hibernation, it does not work.

    Probably, it is that when the computer is in hibernation the link on my switch light is off, but when it is stopped, the link light is on.

    So my question is: How can I get this phone to maintain the LAN port when hibernation, in the same way on shutdown? Thanks in advance.

    Sony laptop Vaio Model: VGN-N21E/W

    My Toddler has managed to activate the shortcuts as follows:

    Once access to Windows Vista is done, whenever I press the key 'L', the computer locks and I have to enter my password again, and then displays the menu of accessibility.

    It would be an understatement to say that it makes me crazy.  I had to copy the l and paste whenever necessary!

    Click on the Start button and type > 'turn on' > and select enable easy keys for quick access in the list.

  • Reactivate the old version on a new computer or a reformatted windows

    Hi, I had adobe creative suite cs5.5 in my old laptop for a long time through my work. I would like to install the same version on a new laptop computer and disable the version on my old laptop... Is this possible?

    A single user license normally allows for two machines with enabled facilities.  Uninstallation is not necessary, but turning off is if you have two activations already and want to install/activate on a new machine.

  • Group residential access from other computers is read-only.

    Two machines, home network, both running Win7 Pro 64.

    Both machines have multiple accounts.  On the machine at the bottom are the accounts under the name of Tom, Dick and Harry.  (Not really, but they are good examples, yes?)  On the machine of the floor are the accounts under the name of Tom and Dick.

    Tom is the main user on the machine at the bottom.  Dick is the main user on the machine on the floor. Tom & Dick should have permission to read/write to all files in the home group (two machines).  Harry, as an ordinary member of the residential group should only have read permission.

    If I right click on the Tom's Documents folder on the machine of dDwnstairs, I see the following permissions:

    Homegroup: read; Tom: Owner; Dick: Read/write

    Yet, when Dick tries to access to the file of the machine on the floor, Dick read only privileges.  Specifically, if she tries to drag a file on homegroup--> Tom (BOTTOM)--> Documents folder, Dick Dick receives a "Destinatino folder Access Denied" dialog box that says: "You must be authorized to perform this action."  Dick can see and navigate to the folder without problem.

    If Dick logs into his account on the box at the bottom, it can read/write files of Tom as expected.

    Is there a way to associate the account in the box on the floor with the account on the box at the bottom, so that file permissions are identical regardless of the situation?

    Correct, both accounts must be related. And I'm also unclear on the declaration of help text, maybe I'm missing something.

    Regarding the setting up of a working group, you are right that the steps are VERY similar. The difference is when you're on a homegroup, the system uses the credentials of home group and not the credentials of the account from your system to connect to a share. So in theory, if you remove all systems in residential group and configure the network in the way that you said in your original post, you should be able to share normally with the permissions that you set up.

    Just remember, when you're on a homegroup, the system uses a called hidden user accountHomegroup$. When it connects to a share on another computer, it is not identified asTom, it connects asresidential group $. This is obviously different from a working group that uses the credentials of the current user to connect (Tom).

    Let me know if I answered your question, I think I have everything! :)

  • Need for other computers on the network to access my laptop computer to run a program

    I installed a program on my computer that acts as a service and I now need to install the application on other computers on our network.  Other computers need point to my computer in order to run the program.  Even if I set the program to point to my ip address, it fails.  Do I need to add a player shared or mapped on each computer to see my computer?  I am new to this and I would appricate all the assistance.

    Thank you.

    You should check with the technical support of the mystery about its requirements for network program. Client/server different programs have different requirements. Certainly, you must assign your portable computer a static IP address. If the laptop is not always in the office or available, it is not really the choice the most suitable to host the game server a program. But presumably you know the better your situation and feel that the laptop will work. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Group residential with old computer as a server, want to set up the new homegroup

    I had a group residential, put in place with an old computer is no longer used. How can I do die so I can put in place a new homegroup with another computer as a server/administrator?

    Hello

    As long as a single computer is configured to use the homegroup, other computers should still be able to join. Homegroup is not dependent on the computer that originally created it.

    If you want to recreate if you have fair to all other computers is to leave the Group residential then they will be able to create again.

    Why I can't join a homegroup?

  • Wake On Lan for Pavilion 500-046

    I have been using Wake On Lan on my other computers to wake up computers on my network that have been closed using the Windows 7 shutdown command. This is a very useful feature for me, and I would like to make it work on my computer HP Pavilion Desk Top with Qualcomm AR8161 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet control. The Bios on the 500-046 has this option, and I put it to ACTIVATE. I am running Windows 8.1 update on the Pavilion. I, moreover, looked at other possible power in Device Manager settings, but I'm not having any luck getting it works. There is absolutely no response from the Pavilion when a wake on LAN signal is sent. A similar question has been posted by me a few days there are no answers. Maybe and Expert could give it a whirl. Thanks for any help.

    Hello fredkoch3,

    I read your post about how you have problems to wake on LAN issues with your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to guide you to a resolution!

    To start, I recommend that you follow this thread on ' Wake on LAN ' (WOL) behavior in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. This should help explain how (WOL) is used for Windows compared to Windows 7 8.1.

    To find out if your system can be configured for Wake on Lan, I suggest a command "powercfg' running on your computer. This will check the power management features available. To do this, please follow the steps in the following procedure:

    1. Press and hold the Windows key and the R button simultaneously
    2. Type the word cmd in the box provided
    3. In the command prompt window, type the command "powercfg - availablesleepstates.
    4. Here you can compare the available sleep States using the document States supply system to see if (WOL) is available.

    Reference: http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/desktop/aa373229.aspx

    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

  • Wake On Lan doesn't work 640 ProBook

    Hello!

    I am trying to configure wake on LAN on laptop ProBook 640 G1, but it does not work

    I configured the BIOS settings and also tried different magic packet WOL tools with no luck. I have already updated the BIOS to the latest available version. Also I tried various BIOS settings, but it simply doesn't.

    I read the various messages with some advice (as configuration options of Windows drivers, also put my laptop in standby mode, the standby modes available with the POWERCFG command verification) but still I can't make it work.

    I tested my network using a utility to check if my phone is received the magic packet and network is fine.

    I already work with Wake On LAN function in another HP laptop and it works fine. The problem is with this new model (I have 2 new laptops and it does not work in any of them).

    Hope someone can help me.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello!

    I solved my problem.

    The origin of the problem is the way in which Windows 8 turns off your computer.

    If I run the "shutdown-s" command to CMD then I can start my computer with magic packet WOL.

    But if I use the option stop with the mouse, then I can't.

    I had to disable the hybrid boot in my windows, so it's no more a problem. I found there is a command to do this:

    ' bcdedit/set disabledynamictick Yes.

    Now it works fine.

  • Wake on LAN support

    ESXi 4 is installed on a system with a dual port Intel NIC and configured to use vmnic0 to vSwitch0, supporting LAN traffic for virtual machines and management for VMkernel traffic.  vmnic1 is associated with vSwitch1 and is exclusively used for iSCSI traffic.  vSphere Client shows that Wake on Lan is supported for vmnic0 but not vmnic1.  I understand that some Intel adapters do support WoL on port A, so this is not really surprising.

    Given that all guest virtual machines use vmnic0, which has the support of WoL, I assumed that guests can receive support WoL.  What I have found however is that while the option 'Allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' can be selected tab in the power management of the properties of the network adapter (Intel Pro/1000 MT) comments on WIndows 2003 server, it cannot be defined for Vista or Windows Server 2008 SMV.  The option is grayed out in the latter two VMS and option notes indicate that the port does not support Wake on Lan.

    Is there something in the settings of the virtual machine that I'm missing?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Hi Scott, welcome to the forums of the VMware community.  What kind of NIC you selected for virtual machines?

    Not all operating systems invited support Wake on LAN. Only the following types of NIC supported Wake

    on LAN:

    soft n (VMware tools required).

    vmxnet n

    n Enhanced vmxnet

    vmxnet n 3

    Options are disabled if they are not supported.

  • Satellite C660 - how to activate and use WAKE ON LAN?

    Hi all

    Previously, I posted asking about the use of Wake on Wireless LAN and was very helpfully informed that it was impossible, so I started to explore the Wake ON LAN option.

    I have a Toshiba C660 PSC0LE-00500JEN and helped Wake ON LAN in the BIOS and have connected a LAN cable between my router and the laptop, which recognize each other, if the cable looks ok.

    However, if I use an app to WAKE ON LAN on my android, or I use a site online "wake on lan via browser ', the laptop stay asleep.

    Can someone advise?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Wake Up on Lan option would work if send you a magic packet to the remote machine (laptop).

    I have no experience using the Android app, who knows if it works properly

    Try the other method. For example, using software such as wake on Lan for Windows (GUI) graphical user Interface

    Google for it to download this software.

    In addition, go to the device-> LAN card Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab and check here if the WOL is activated too
