I've been looking for something like this.

I'll test it out.

Thank you!

Bensawsome (Homepage) - April 21, 2008 - 12:57pm

Thank you for testing it. Laughing out loud It seems not that many people have taken an interest in it. I will try and keep it updated but there hasn't been a new version of this app since late 2007

ivewrittenitdown (Homepage) - April 21, 2008 - 2:12pm

As far as it working, I haven't had any problems. I can't speak for the PAF compatibility. I use this program at work, so it's really nice having a portable version of it.

Thanks!

Your welcome :D

Bensawsome (Homepage) - April 21, 2008 - 2:44pm

Your welcome Laughing out loud
I have been trying to figure out how to set that up myself so I can turn on my comp from my house in Vermont. Laughing out loud But I can't find my out my Mac Address to my computer Sad

And powerjuce thank you and thanks to Patrick also.

All you have to do is this.

bob3695 - January 13, 2009 - 11:12am

All you have to do is this. On the computer in question goto start->run->type cmd->type ipconfig /all. Find the adapter conntected to the internet (you may only have one) and it'll tell you your mac address. This is assuming you are running windows xp. For vista do the same except search for cmd in your search box in the start menu.

ill take a look...

    In the App dir

  • rename IH Wake On LAN to ihwakeonlan
  • In the App\AppInfo dir
    • You have a readme there i dont think you need it
    • Also your icon meets the requirements for the 256 colors but now you also need the xp colors(so ur half way there!!!)
    • In the appinfo.ini 
      • Description=(Description)

        actually add a description 

      • Category=

        add a catogory as well

      • DisplayVersion=0.031

        Make this a little more user friendly(that is why we have it)

      • You appinfo.ini version should be 0.9.8 not 0.9.9
    In the Other dir

  • In your Other\source dir
    • You have a file called ReadMeNow which needs to be deleted
    • Your entire ReadMe is about Sumtra PDF.(take a look at any release to get the proper design for the readme)
    • In the readme make the this line
      Copyright 2004-2007 John T. Haller

      into this:

      Copyright 2004-2008 John T. Haller
Copyright 2008 Ben Kaufman
    • You are missing an appsource.txt look at any release to see what it contains
    • Your code looks great, just remember to add the change in the $EXESTRING because u changed the app path
    • You also have a splash fade of '10' after the 1000 on line 165 that you can change to 0.
    In the main dir

  • Your help.html needs a little more info, add a link to the (original)site and an faq or forum that they may or may not have. Also change the link for IH Wake On LANPortable Thread. to the actual thread that you are using for the project

That is all I could find, when you release again i will check again

Please search before posting. ~Thanks

Aww.....

Bensawsome (Homepage) - April 22, 2008 - 8:53am

I thought I got all the readme's (I originally used digitxp's template). Guess not. I will fix all that stuff as soon as I can. I will probably need some help with the icons though (neorame will you help me?). And also I will eventually need to get the high res icon for the splash screen (neorame again? Laughing out loud ). I might have a little trouble getting it out though. I have a term paper to do and regular homework also :'(
Thanks for the tips,
Bensawsome

To prevent the name of the app your using as a base for your new app appear in files, use one of the two "Cloning Cleanup" tips here:

Help control the rugrat population -- have yourself spayed or neutered!

this is cool

sylikc - April 22, 2008 - 8:44pm

All right! not the best implementation of WoL on the web, but it works for small-scale stuff. So far, running no problems, haven't checked if any files left behind yet though

i love this app and is it

Atlantis - May 1, 2008 - 2:26am

i love this app and is it your app? if so is it possible to have a switch off command.

Atlantis

Nope

Bensawsome (Homepage) - May 1, 2008 - 3:12pm

Nope its not my app. But do you mean by switch off it turns the computer off?
Thanks,
Bensawsome

Well, It's called "Wake On

BuddhaChu - July 14, 2008 - 7:04pm

Well, It's called "Wake On LAN" for a reason, not "Sleep On LAN". WOL uses a "magic packet" to start a machine via it's network card. I don't think there's such a thing a "SOL" (except the ".... outta luck" saying Eye-wink ).

There are other Windows tools out there to remotely turn off computers on a LAN, namely the Computer Manager (not portable though, but is installed on all Windows machines usually)

Start --> Run --> compmgmt.msc --> {Enter}

You could also look into using SNMP to turn computers off.

thanks and how do u turn

zzdr.fred - July 23, 2008 - 9:24pm

I have been using this lately at work
it is great
it has troubles sometimes with ip addresses and computer name.. but mac address works great.

I would definitely use this very frequently

phalkon30 - January 20, 2009 - 10:16pm

Thanks! I've been looking for a program similar to this, and a portable version would be excellent.

It will be a while before I can actually set up and test this, but I just wanted you to know that I'm interested in it. Smiling

Thanks

Reid Thaler - June 16, 2009 - 2:27pm

I just had to register and say thanks for this. I'll save a lot of energy not to leave my home computer on but still have access to it.

Thanks!
