Alienware aurora x51 wake on lan
I am trying to configure this in the Bios. I can't find the setting under power management. Is wake on lan not possible for this computer? I have set this up for Dell xps desktop before.
thanks in advance

Hi!
Please confirm the model and revision of your Alienware system and provide the BIOS version you currently have installed.

This system doesn't support wake on lan from the BIOS.

Even with BIOS support, WoL from completely OFF has always been troublesome to config and get working. Business-class machines with vPro-AMT work better from OFF.
On the other hand, waking from Windows Sleep-Mode is pretty easy to get working. Not sure if BIOS support is even required (since, even while S3 asleep, Windows is still loaded).
In Windows, just set wired network card to watch for Magic-Packet. Then, get yourself a little Command-Line program to send it a Magic-Packet (I do it from batch files).
