Activate Wake on LAN

You can use the Dell Client Configuration Utility.  See the instructions here on the support site:

If you have never used premiersupport before you will have to register with a service tag, but it is free.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, this is exactly what i need !

But now i have another problem with some Latitude C500. I cannot WOL bring to work. I've enabled the BIOS setting and installed newest ethernet drivers (3Com Mini PCI), but WOL didn't work. If i turn off the laptop, the LED flashlight at the network connector turns also off. The systems did'nt accept any WOL Packets then. On Optiplex Systems or with a docking station the LED continues with flashing, when the system was powered off.

I installed latest BIOS (A23), but it didn't make a difference. There is also no proble m with the network infrastructure, because Optiplex systems at the same network port are working with WOL.

But there is a interesting point in the 3Com Diagnostic Utility. In the NIC Information it says there is NO "Remote Wake-Up Connector".

Any ideas here?

 

Dominik:  I don't have a solution, but you might try posting the question in the Optiplex Netowrk forum at http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=oplex_network If you cannot find anything there you will probably have to call tech support.
