Wake on LAN is actually useful
February 4, 2009 by ted.
I have to admit that I have heard about Wake on Lan since first starting working with PCs but I never had a use for it. I just never saw a need to have to wake a PC up that I was wanting to use…
If you’re like me, you like to keep your home PC off when you’re not home (I use sleep mode in Vista). I don’t see any reason to leave my PC up and running all day if I’m not there using it, plus it saves on electricity.
In my case, I wanted to be able to RDP to my home PC from anywhere, but I didn’t want to have to leave it running all day.
Here’s how ::
1. First enable Wake on Lan on your PC Nic in Windows (you may have to enable in BIOS too).
