Title: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Wake on Lan function: is it possible?
Post by: biolco on March 04, 2012, 09:07:22 am: Hi guys, I have this mobo and I'm wondering if I can wake/power up my pc from remote with wake on lan function, but I cannot see it in the BIOS page. I have only Power on by ring, and PME event wake up. Can I use one of these features for reaching my scopes?

Any hint or suggestion? If I buy a lan card PCI supporting the Wake On Lan feature, can I use the PME to wake up the pc?

Thanks in advance for the replies

Yes, PME event wake needs to be enabled

But I need an extra lan card right? Or can I use the integrated one?

Post by: Lsdmeasap on March 05, 2012, 06:20:08 am: Great to hear you got it working! Keep in mind some software might have compatibility issues with this, so some programs might work and some might not, just keep that in mind when / if you try other various methods of waking the system.

Post back anytime if you need more help with anything!

Post by: biolco on March 06, 2012, 09:12:48 pm: Another curiosity:
My pc is usually disconnected from the power lane. When I plug in the plug in the socket, should the pc be able to wake up from lan, or this function works only when coming from standby command or shutdown command invoked by the os?

Post by: Lsdmeasap on March 08, 2012, 07:43:51 am: I would think so, as long as your battery isn't dying while it's unplugged, which it shouldn't. But you'll have to test that yourself to confirm if it will work or not, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Post by: biolco on March 08, 2012, 10:28:07 am: Solved also this one, there's an apposite option to set in the bios do determine the mobo behaviour after a AC power loss :)

Post by: Lsdmeasap on March 08, 2012, 10:32:04 am: Yes, but does that matter about waking though?
Title: Re: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Wake on Lan function: is it possible?
Post by: biolco on March 08, 2012, 11:50:06 am: Yes, it does matter, because the wake on lan works only when the mobo is in certain power states (coming from standby or shutdown via os). In BIOS @ AC Back Function voice if you don't set "Memory" the system, after a power loss, doesn't remember/restore those power states, so WOL won't work.

Post by: Lsdmeasap on March 10, 2012, 09:24:51 am: Ahh, well thanks for the info! I learned something new today :D

So you have to set Memory on the AC back function, then it works no matter what right?
Title: Re: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Wake on Lan function: is it possible?
Post by: biolco on March 10, 2012, 12:09:55 pm: Yes right, setting it to "Memory" makes the system restore the last state before the power loss.

Post by: hoomiii on March 16, 2012, 03:22:38 pm: Hi. First time I'm trying out this feature.
I'm running Win 7 Ultimate.
Is there anything else needed to be enabled?
My PME was enabled from factory. Do i need to make any configurations in windows or any other in BIOS?
It's not working for me.

I'm looking for a way to be able to start my computer through an android cellphone.
Any suggestions for a stable program?

(I have done the port forward from the router settings)
Title: Re: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Wake on Lan function: is it possible?
Post by: hoomiii on March 17, 2012, 12:13:43 am: got it to work!

forgot some tweaks on the network card.
However, i have another question.
How can I make this work on WAN? My internet service provider gives me a dynamic IP.
Might be the wrong forum, but would be happy if anyone knows the answer (:

Post by: biolco on July 12, 2012, 06:57:30 am: you should register for a free dynamic dns service...and set it in your router (your router must have the dynamic dns feature, obviously)
