Do Anyone know about Wake on LAN (WOL)?? I am doing a project on this. My objective is to WOL a computer which is connected to my server. Can anyone give me any advise? I'm using VB 6 to do it.

http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=871 its a class for wake on LAN (WOL) but i really don't have any idea how to use it. Please guide me.

Have anyone ever try and succeed in this please share your experience. Thanks alot

That class looks okay but it seems you need to know the MAC address of the network interface card of the target computer, use the class like this:

Dim Test As CMagicPacket
Set Test = New CMagicPacket
 
Test.WinsockControl = Winsock1
Test.IPSubnetAddress = "192.168.1.0"
Test.IPSubnetMask = "255.255.255.255"
Test.NICAddress = "MAC Address HERE"
 
Test.WakeUp
