GA-G41M-ES2L - Wake on LAN issue
« on: August 11, 2010, 12:47:25 am »
Hello everyone.

I have a problem with WOL on my PC. I have
a) Upgraded my BIOS to v8 (Yes, v6 fixed an issue with WOL, which I upgraded to at the time, and now I'm on v8)
b) Done port forwarding on my router and yes router sends the magic packet through I have tested this
c) PC is set to use static IP address
c) Enabled WOL on H/W in BIOS,
d) Switched off Green LAN feature (so that NIC is always on)
e) Updated to latest driver for NIC and enabling WOL via settings on device manager.

WOL works like a charm during the first 10-15 minutes or so after the PC is shutdown. If this time frame has passed, all of a sudden it simply does not respond. Anyone have any ideas please. Will be much obliged.

Thank you very much in advance

The only thing I can think of is that the PSU isn't compatible and is not supplying the quiessent current to the board, only a guess I am afraid but maybe it will give you soemthing to check. :-\

I got the same problem. After 15 minutes or so the computer is turned of, the Wake on Lan does not work. Until then, it works like a charm.

I would like gigabyte do something about it...
