Waking a Computer Remotely with WOL: In order to wake a shut-down computer with WOL properly configured, you need a program that can send the proper packets over your network. The following programs do this:

* LANDesk Client Manager, revision 3.10 or later, by Intel. This software comes with most WOL-compliant motherboards. * Magic Packet by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). This software is a free download from AMD.
