Where to Work

Microsoft IIS 6.0 or later ( where ASP.NET 4.0 is enabled)

How to Install

1. place 2 files

place 2 files any location of web server.

  • Default.aspx
  • wol_hosts.xml

in some environments wol_hosts setting file may need to be hidden and inaccessible from public. In such a case, rewrite the line to point to wol_hosts.xml file in Default.aspx.

    static String XmlFilePath = "wol_hosts.xml";

2. add PCs in wol_hosts.xml file

<hosts>
  <host name="Computer Name 1"
   mac-address="00:00:00:00:00:00"
   ip-address="192.168.0.1"
   <wol broadcast-address="192.168.0.255" />
  </host>
 </hosts>

name and mac-address is always required. ip-address is optional and used to Ping. broadcast-address is used to limit the network range in the case the web server has 2 or more network interfaces and different subnetwork like global internet and local network.

Security Caution

If the webserver is public, you might need to limit access to Default.aspx file and wol_hosts.xml file.
