DooNetwork For Jim DooLittle's DooNetwork plug-in.
We are all saddened by the loss of Jim Doolittle in early April, 2010. A kind and helpful person who contributed much to our HS community. At this time we are uncertain of what will happen with his plug-ins and scripts, so if you are visiting these forums for the first time in search of support, please understand that the community of users of his software can only do the best they can to try to help.

I can't get wake on lan to work. What am I missing?
The error is:
MAC address of Network Study Computer could not be determined so Wake Up cannot be performed
Using DooNetwork 2.3.2, HS 2.4.01. PC is running Win 7 64 bit. Wake on lan is setup on the PC. When I use "retrieve mac address" in DN device setup it does grab the mac address and I have also run ipconfig and verfied that the address is correct.
Am I missing something simple (I hope)?

WOL needs to be enabled in the BIOS of the target machine. Possibly also in the properties for the LAN card under Windows.
There are a number of free utilities out there that will help you determine whether or not you're successful.
I have one machine that simply refuses to respond to WOL (HP media center m7680). Hopefully this isn't your problem.

Automate everything, modify the rest... but remember... For every action, there is an equal and unexpected reaction.

I just checked the BIOS and it is set. Wake is enabled in the adapter. I even get the error if the pC is awake which is odd (to me) as DN has no trouble grabbing the mac when I am in setup

In my case, I spent several hours with HP tech support, on several occasions. The last time the technician (and I use the term loosely) actually tried to tell me "this only works wirelessly". I told him that was bull-puckey (which it is) and he hung up on me. The BIOS suggests WOL should work, but no-one, judging from the chit-chat on the web, has ever been successful with this particular machine. The motherboard simply isn't wired for WOL.
Before you drive yourself crazy, as I did, try one of the free apps outside HS, then deal with the plugin once you know the hardware responds.

I found a little utility and it was able to wake the PC so at least I know that my PC is wakeable.

We now return you to the regularly scheduled plugin.
