Solve : Wake on Lan with Intel D865GBF & Realtek 8139D NIC?

Answer» HI,
I have an intel D865GBF mobo without integrated LAN, & an add on PCI card Realtek 8139D with

vendor as Quantum.

I need to get the wake on LAN capability to work properly. Both the peripherals support the

feature. I am also able to wake up my PC from sleep state S1 through LAN, by sending a magic

packet, but am unable to wake it up from sleep state S3.
The S3 state I realized in my case also shuts down my LAN card power, which I guess it

should not do.

The troubleshooting steps I have done :
- BIOS settings for power : wake on LAN from S5 -> enabled; State on PME -> power on; Sleep

state -> S3;
- Device NIC config : Advanced- Wake On Lan capabilities -> enabled; Wake on ARP/Ping ->

enabled; Wake on Shutdown -> enabled; Wake on Magic packet;
- Device config : Power management - Allow PC to shutdown this device to consume power ->

enabled; I have tried with disabling it also but no success; Allow this device to wake up PC

-> enabled;

Please help me regarding this. I need to get this up running asap. Also is it possible that

for this mobo, I have to insert the NIC card in a specific slot to give it power ?

Thanks.In a nutshell this stuff is a pipe dream.

It doesn't always work. Most people don't even try to get it to work because of how offen it FAILS.

Why do you need to "wake up" a PC? Maybe we can find another answer.

I think you are correct that it often doesnt work. What I basically want is that I can switch on my PC from work & do some tasks on the Home PC from work. Currently I am wasting energy by keeping it on 24x7 & using VPN to connect to it. What I would be prefer is to wake it up from S3 state to be ready on demand & not 24hrs, thus saving on power & my electricity bill !You may not really have a choice, power saving features don't usually work correctly on desktop EQUIPMENT. Most manufacturers don't incorporate it properly.

I take it this is something you need to do, or you wouldn't have set up the VPN.

As an ALTERNATIVE you could try running [emailprotected] this way your USAGE could be justified.
