Yesterday I found out that I can add Wake from LAN to my tree. I have to fill in a MAC address there but don t know what this is or where I can find this number of my computer. Is this something like a IP address?
I also know that it has something to do with the BIOS settings so I checked the settings and will post here how my bios looks like so maybe you guys can help me out pick the right settings.
BIOS settings which maybe are important:
In the Power menu off my bios I can select the following things:
1. Suspend Mode: S1 (pos) only, S3 only or AUTO.
2. repost video on S3 resume: enabled or disabled
3. ACPI 2.0 support: enabled or disabled
4. ACPI APIC support: enabled or disabled
5. APM configuration
restore on AC power loss: Power Off, Power On and Last State
power on by RTC alarm: enabled or disabled
power on by external modems: enabled or disabled
power by PCI devices: enabled or disabled
power on by PCIE devices: enabled or disabled
power on by PS2 keybaord or mouse: enabled or disabled
The MAC address is the address of the network interface. Every interface on any PC will have a unique address. The MAC address isn't controlled from the BIOS, but often there is a BIOS setting to allow or not allow wakeup from LAN (Local Area Network), which is what you are trying to do. I don't see that listed in the BIOS options you listed, so it is possible your motherboard won't support what you are trying to do.
As for getting the MAC address, go to Network Connections. Right click on the connection you are interested in (there may be several) and select "status". This will bring up a new window, click on the "Support" tab, then click the "Details..." button at the buttom. The "Physical Address" property is the MAC address.
