UltraVNC won't wake sleeping VISTA PC but Router WOL OK?

Post by jksmurf »

I did search, but couldn't find an exact match. My problems is simple.

When my PC is awake UVNC Works great. No Problems, many years.

My PC finally sleeps well now (after many months of working it out, S3 state IIRC) BUT it won't wake up when I try to UVNC to it?

If I issue a manual WOL command from my router's webadmin (WRT54GS with Tomato 1.19) the thing wakes up just FINE. I have wake on PCI devices in the BIOS (no LAN setting in BIOS) and "only wake on Management Stations" over the Ethernet card settings in Hardware Devices.

So, is there ANY way I can get UVNC to simulate that "WAKE UP" command that I can do manually from the Router? Is it a different kind of magic-packet type issue?

Well I got it working but not through UVNC which I don't think works, at least not for me.

I used the method (of a few different ones) described here: http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showt ... hp?t=55331 (Post #5 in the Firewall Section) and the IP Neighbour command from post #1). The WOL utility is

After which I can run UVNC.
