Wake On Lan

Needed the remote office guys to be able to switch on computers in the main office.  Found a good utility which allows sending the magic packets to networks on different subnet.

Download MC-WOL.exe from http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm
Example1: MC-WOL 00:01:02:58:A3:C7
in case the machine is on a different subnet provide the subnet mask as below.
Example2: MC-WOL 00:01:02:5C:A1:B2 /a 192.168.5.255
you can find the mac address of the machine by using the following in command prompt window
ipconfig  /all
Also Wake On Lan setting must be set to on in the system Bios.
