Hi,
I've been using Wake On Lan for few years without any problem on my W7 x64 and an Intel 82567LF-2 Gigabit controller inside the motherboard.
Now since few weeks, it doesn't always work. Sometimes I must unplug the power cord (when PC is off) and re-plug it. Then, sending a magic packet (by another computer on LAN) works and wake it up.
I had seen this behavior also few years ago but very rarely and I though it was because of static electricity accumulated on power circuitry (please note that I have an external laptop-like AC power adapter). Now it becomes almost systematic. That is every time I want to wake it up I have first to unplug re-plug the power cable on the back of the PC (I unplug the cable from the 4-pin DC power port).
What is this problem ? Did anyone experience this kind of behavior ? any solution ?
In the case my BIOS settings have been altered (which doesn't explain why it works after unplug/re-plug of the power cable), would you remind me those settings (don't remember the states S4 or S5, ...).
Also on my Intel card properties, I have enabled "Wake on Magic Packet". But there is also "Wake on Magic Packet from power-off state" that is not enabled. Should this be enabled ?
thanks
