Scanning your network also updates the current status of every computer - 'on' (green icon) or 'off' (red icon). 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. 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), and choose the correct IP addresses range to scan.Īll the computers information collected by WakeMeOnLan is saved into the configuration file (WakeMeOnLan.cfg) for loading it on the next time that you use WakeMeOnLan. In order to start the network scan, simply press F5. In order to start using it, simple run the executable file - WakeMeOnLan.exeĪfter running WakeMeOnLan, the first thing to do is to scan your network and collect the MAC addresses/computer names/IP addresses on your network. WakeMeOnLan doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. 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. 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.
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. But to find a remote machine's MAC address or yours easily, we can use this simple command line application. To find your MAC address, you can dig into your network adapter's properties. This utility allows you to easily turn on one or more computers remotely by sending Wake-on-LAN (WOL) packet to the remote computers. The MAC address is a unique address given to your network adapter or NIC.
