WakeOnLan für Mac und PC

Man kann von einem Mac prima über das Remote Desktop Tool von Microsoft (siehe Remote Desktop) auf einen PC, Windows Home Server etc. zugreifen. Wenn sich der PC aber im Standby Modus befindet, möchte er gerne mit einem Magic WakeOnLan Datenpaket aufgeweckt werden. Wie geht das vom Mac aus.

Auf http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050118192723153 gab es einen Tipp:

Wake a PC from a Mac: On your PC, Right-click on "My Computer" on your desktop and click "Manage". Choose "Device Manager" then find "Network adapters" on the list. Click the + and launch your ethernet card properties box. Under the "Power Management" tab, make sure you allow yourself the ability to bring the computer out of standby. (not sure how this is done on your particular card). Close this window. Now go to your "Start" menu and choose "Settings" then "Network Connections" then "Local Area Connection." Click the "Support" tab, then the "Details" button. Write down the "Physical Address." This address will look like the "Ethernet ID" number earlier. Close this window. Put your PC on standby and go to your Mac.

Download the "WakeUp" utility. Add a computer to the list window and put in your PC's name and Physical Address number. Click the "Wake Up" button and your PC should wake up accordingly.

I hope this works for you and helps to make things easier in regard to WOL and WOMP commands.
