DosWOL
(ver 1.0)
Abandoned Freeware


DosWOL is a WATTCP program that can tell a remote PC 
to power up (Wake On Lan).  It works by sending a 
special TCP/IP packet to that computers MAC address. 
You must of course have a NIC with an active LAN 
connection, which means having the "WATTCP.CFG" file 
configured with your true IP information.  

NO special software is required on the remote PC, but 
the receiving computer must have a motherboard that 
understands Wake On Lan, and its NIC must also support 
WOL.  If the remote PC has an add-on network card, a 
signal wire must be connected between the motherboard 
and the NIC's WOL port.  The WOL feature must also be 
enabled in the motherboard's BIOS, and Port 12287 
(0x2FFF) must be open to accept the packet.  


WARNING: Wake On Lan was intended to be used on a local 
network, and not through the Internet!  DosWOL has no 
way of knowing if the packet was received by the remote 
PC (be aware that certain network switches in the path 
might prevent the packet from being delivered).  You 
might therefore want to pre-configure the remote PC so 
it broadcasts some kind of indication whenever is wakes.
