DescriptionThis utility allows you to easily turn on one or more computers remotely by sending Wake-on-LAN (WOL) packet to the remote computers.When your computers are turned on, WakeMeOnLan allows you to scan your network, and collect the MAC addresses of all your computers, and save the computers list into a file.Later, when your computers are turned off or in standby mode, you can use the stored computers list to easily choose the computer you want to turn on,and then turn on all these computers with a single click. WakeMeOnLan also allows you to turn on a computer from command-line, by specifying the computer name, IP address, or the MAC address of the remote network card. System Requirements And Limitations
Versions History
Start Using WakeMeOnLanWakeMeOnLan doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it,simple run the executable file - WakeMeOnLan.exeAfter running WakeMeOnLan, the first thing to do is to scan your network and collect the MAC addresses/computer names/IP addresses on your network. In order to start the network scan, simply press F5. If WakeMeOnLan scans the wrong IP addresses range,you can stop the scan process by pressing F6, and then go to the 'Advanced Options' window (F9), andchoose the correct IP addresses range to scan.
All the computers information collected by WakeMeOnLan is saved into the configuration file (WakeMeOnLan.cfg) for loadingit on the next time that you use WakeMeOnLan. You can also scan your network multiple times, and if there is a new computers on your network, it'll be added to the list. Scanning your network also updates the current status of every computer - 'on' (green icon) or 'off' (red icon).If there are obsolete computers on the list, you can remove them by using the 'Delete Selected Items' option.
Turn On Remote Computers On Your NetworkAfter scanning your network in the first time, it's very easily to turn on the computers you need.Simply run WakeMeOnLan, select the desired computers, and then choose the 'Wake Up Selected Computer' option (F8).After using the 'Wake Up Selected Computer' option, you can run another network scan, to verify that the computers are really turned on. Turned on computers are displayed with green icon. WakeMeOnLan doesn't wakeup my computers... What to do ?If WakeMeOnLan doesn't wakeup your computers - try to go to Options -> Send The Wake-on-LAN Packet To... and choose one of the other methods to send the wakeup packet.External MAC Addresses FileWakeMeOnLan uses an internal MAC Addresses database in order to display the company name of every network adapter.However, the internal database is not always updated with the latest MAC address assignments.You can manually download the latest MAC addresses file from http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txtand then put oui.txt in the same folder where WakeMeOnLan.exe is located.When you run WakeMeOnLan.exe, it'll automatically load and use the external oui.txt instead of the internal MAC addresses database. Turn On a Computer From Command-LineWakeMeOnLan allows you to wake up a computer on your network without displaying any user interface, by using the /wakeupcommand-line option.You can specify the computer name, IP address, or the free user text that you typed in the properties window,as long as the computer information is stored inside the .cfg file.You can also specify the MAC address of the remote network card, even if the computer is not stored in the .cfg file.
Optionally, you can specify the port number in the second parameter, and broadcast address in the third parameter.
Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 192.168.1.25 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp01 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp02 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 40-65-81-A7-16-23 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 406581A71623 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup Comp02 30000 192.168.0.255 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeup 192.168.1.25 20000 192.168.1.255
You can also wake up all computers in the list by using /wakeupall command-line option.Like in the /wakeup command-line option, you can optionally specify broadcast address and port number.
Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupall WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupall 20000 192.168.2.255If you want to wake up all computers in specific IP addresses range, you can use /wakeupiprange command-line option
Examples:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupiprange 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.100 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupiprange 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.20 20000 192.168.0.255
If you want to wakeup multiple computers, you can use /wakeupmulti command-line option.
Examples: WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupmulti 192.168.1.19 192.168.1.55 192.168.1.82 WakeMeOnLan.exe /wakeupmulti Comp01 Comp02 Scan Your Network From Command-LineWakeMeOnLan allows you to scan your network and update the computers list on the .cfg file without displaying any user interface,by using the /scan command-line option:WakeMeOnLan.exe /scan
You can also specify specific IP addresses range to scan, for example:
WakeMeOnLan.exe /scan /UseIPAddressesRange 1 /IPAddressFrom 192.168.1.1 /IPAddressTo 192.168.1.254 /UseNetworkAdapter 0 More Command-Line Options
