Please log in for more thread options Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to configure my wireless card to wake my laptop? I have the Intel Pro 2200BG and a Linksys WRT54G v2 router. I've spent several hours trying to find a way to set this up, with no success. Thanks. -phil | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Sure. Intel Proset 10 for your 2200BG card supports wake-on-lan (magic packet). I think you have to enable it in the Proset setup. You might want to use your ethernet LAN card for initial testing and then deal with the wireless card. The LAN card is easier. If I PCI card, make sure the WOL cable is installed. Test your laptop first without the router with another computer. Note that you cannot turn OFF the laptop with WOL, only turn it on. Use one of the numerous utilites found on the internet such as: http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-gui.aspx http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx Once that is working, you can configure your router to handle WOL from the internet with somewhat of a kludge. 1. Setup the router to always point to the same DHCP assigned IP address for your laptop using "DHCP reservation" or "static DHCP". 2. Pick any port number (e.g. 12345) and configure port forwarding in your router to point to your laptop's IP address. 3. Record the MAC address of your 2200BG wireles card. 4. Use this page for testing: http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.aspx or use one of the previously mentioned WOL applications. The port number is the number you configured in step #2 (i.e. 12345). The MAC address is that of your 2200BG, and not the router. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Jeff, First off, thanks so much for your detailed instructions. Ok, I have Intel ProSet version 10.1.0.6 and I do not see any area in the Application Settings or Adapter Settings where I can enable Wake on WLAN (wireless). I did, however, manage to get Wake on LAN setup and working, using wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx. I have port 7 forwarded on the router to my laptop's IP and when I send a packet to the onboard LAN card's MAC address, it wakes up. When I try sending the packet to the Intel PRO 2200BG MAC address, the laptop does not wake-up. In both cases, I am sending the magic packet via Local Subnet (192.168.1.101), as I only need to be able to wake the laptop from within the LAN. (When I try sending the packet via Internet, neither device will wake the laptop.) Since my router's current firmware does not support Static DHCP, the above was all done with typical DHCP settings. I'm going to search for a 3rd party firmware for my WRT54G, that supports Static DHCP, and see if that makes any difference. If you have anything else to suggest, I'm all ears, as they say. Thanks. -phil >

For the WRT54G v2, I would recommend DD-WRT. http://www.dd-wrt.com It's a bit difficult to find the "latest" version. Despite the name, I suggest you try the latest from "V23 SP1 beta" which is in the 2006-0415 directory. The reserved DHCP addresses are buried under: Administration -> Services -> DHCPd
as "static leases".

Nope. One wrong answer (per day) is bad enough. No need for me to make it worse by offering untested suggestions. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
