How to send a signal to wake on lan

Hello,
I have all the bios setup correctly and my m/b is also compatible am using a
wake on lan network card (netgear fa312) but how the heck do you send the
signal to turn the computer on. All the info I could find is how to setup
the stuff and not getting it to turn on. I am using the magic packet
software.
thanks for your help to this matter.

 

You need a little program dealie to send the magic packet. There are
any number of VB scripts and command line utilities out there that
will do it, or you could download something like this:

Thanks a lot that is exactly what I have been looking for. I was just
wondering do you happen to use this program and if so what do you think of
it.

 

You're welcome.

Nope, I use a command line utility. I have very little cause to use
WOL.

Cheers,
