OK!

Here it is!

The guide on HOW TO set your PC/laptop up in order to be turned on with your phone WITHIN your home LAN/WIFI.

0. BEWARE: Your PC/laptop needs to be hooked into the network via a LAN cable to be able to receive the command. (for the interested: the wireless adapter would have to be on and running for it to work via wireless and in the most cases - that is not possible. The regular ETHERNET card can be set to be always on and waiting for the wake-up call)

Part One - Making Sure Your PC/Laptop supports it

1. Please turn on the PC/laptop you want to be able to turn on with your phone.

2. Go to Start --> Control Panel --> Device Manager --> Network Adapter

3. Right Click the correct Network Adapter (in doubt do it with all if you have more, but leave the wireless one alone.)

4. Choose "Settings" (last option)

5. Choose the far right "Power Management" and click all boxes EXCEPT the first.

6. OK it!

Part Two - Finding The Secret Numbers and Names

1. Press "The Windows Button" (The one you never use, between ALT and Ctrl) and "R" simultaneoulsy. A window appears.

2. Write

cmd

in that window and hit "ENTER"

3. Now type

ipconfig/all

and hit "ENTER"

Now many numbers should pop up!

4. Look at the field called Host Name and write that down on a piece of paper!

5. Look at the field called Physical Address and write that down on a piece of paper!

Part Three - Setting Up Your Mobile Device To Turn Your PC/laptop ON!

1. Open the "WoL Everywhere" app on your Mobile Device.

2. Choose "Menu" on the right lower corner.

3. Choose "Edit WoL-list"

4. Choose "Menu" again on the right lower corner.

5. Choose "Add new Dev."

6. Type in the secret name you wrote on your paper into the "Dev. name" field.

7. Type in the secret number you wrote on your paper into the "Dev. MAC" field. (yes, MAC is the Physical Address you wrote down earlier)

8. Uncheck WoL over Internet if you (like me) want to use it in your home-network only.

9. Choose SAVE

10. DONE

Requiem - Testing if it works.

- By now you should be able to hit the "Back" button.

- Choose "Wake on LAN"

- MAKE SURE THE PC/laptop YOU WANT TO WAKE UP IS OFF (Shut Down)

- Tap on the device presented on the screen.

- WOW! Your PC/laptop should be starting up now and you should be amazed how easy and quick it was.

THE END

--------------------

LichtiMC you are THE man.

I really enjoy what you did here and send out my warmest thanks to you!

As a computer geek I did not know that what you created here was possible.

Sure I knew about Sub7 and what it could do to a remote computer, but this?

This is just amazing!

--------------------

Now it's your turn - please let me know how to configure the Server on my WinMobile device to be able to use the bat files I created.

I would like to mention here, that I don't want to start any progs from my phone when not home.

All I want is a possibility to manipulate the PC or laptop running the Server Application within my own WLAN/LAN Network.

Practical Example: I want to power on my PC with the wakeup package, tell it to open Internet Explorer, Skype, Word and a PPT file via pre-prepared bat files saved to the bat folder.

I got the bat's ready to fly but I can't seem to tell my hTC HD2 to send to the PC I want to target.

The core question is: Is there a way to simplify the process for a all-in-one-network scenario like mine? I don't need to start my PC and steer it from 1000 miles away. I simply want to - all within the same network - tell it to turn on and be ready before I arrive at my chair :)

Thanks again,

Tom
