.NET Core Wake-On-Lan console utility.
- Make sure the remote computer has Wake-On-Lan enabled in the System BIOS, and the remote network adapter supports WOL and has it enabled.
- Startup WOLtool, provide MAC Address of the remote computer's network card.
- Be sure you have the .NET6 or newer runtime installed.
- (Optional) You can run WOLtool from the command line:
woltool <MacAddress1> <MacAddress2> <MacAddress3>...Multiple MAC Addresses are supported.
- If Magic Packet broadcast is successful, you will receive a 'OK' message. As long as the remote computer is properly configured, it should wake (See Considerations).
NOTE: To run on a macOS/Linux system you will need to run this from terminal/bash. Be sure you set the file permissions for WOLtool to be executable via terminal:
chmod 755 woltool
./woltool [optional Args]
- It is possible to get a 'Success' message, but the remote computer may not wake. This could be due to network configuration, or the remote computer's configuration (BIOS,etc.)
- WakeOnLan uses broadcasts. As such they will only reach computers in the local subnet. If the message is transmitted in network 192.168.1.0/24 , computers in 192.168.2.0/24 will not receive the broadcast by default.
