The targeted workstation was turned off but was configured in BIOS so that its NIC/LOM LED lights were active. I ran this tool within my home network from a non-static IP addressed workstation to target the static IP addressed workstation. a firewall if present needs to pass WOL messages). You run the SolarWinds tool on another computer inside your network to initiate the WOL message (so that might be another part of the issue for some. You need to set a static IP address at the target workstation, and also know its MAC address. The information will allow you to experiment until you get all your BIOS and OS settings right. but this should still help you, and the top part is from SolarWinds about the tool.

This is from back in time but still works fine, and you can put in stunt info and stunt email/phone number in the registration area and still get straight to the zipped download, HERE :

You'd want your LEDs flashing even when your workstation is off, telling you the NIC/LOM is ready to go.Ī useful tool once you get that figured out is to download the free SolarWinds Wake-On-LAN tool. Thus, the backplane has no flashing NIC/LOM LED lights going when the workstation is turned off. I currently have my network interface settings to have the NIC/LOM hardware fully off when the workstation is off for security purposes. A first step is to have the NIC/LOM active when the computer is fully off, and you can see that is the case when the NIC/LOM lights are on when all else is off. I had that figured out years ago and found some of my notes from then. There are settings in both BIOS and the NIC/LOM (Local area network On Motherboard chipset) settings that both need to be set correctly for this all to work.
