Hello Garycase,<br />
&nbsp; I tried using the MC-WOL.exe that you have recommended. However, when I launch that exe file it says &quot;Press any key to continue&quot;. When I press any key to continue the program just closes. can you pelase tell me as to why I am not able to use that program. I have tried multiple computers.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!

Hello Garycase,
  I tried using the MC-WOL.exe that you have recommended. However, when I launch that exe file it says "Press any key to continue". When I press any key to continue the program just closes. can you pelase tell me as to why I am not able to use that program. I have tried multiple computers.

Thanks a lot!

The program is running in a DOS window =&gt; when it finishes, the &quot;Press any key to continue&quot; message is displayed, and when you press a key the DOS window closes. &nbsp; That's normal -- the program is working fine. &nbsp; If it's not waking your other machines then you're most likely using the wrong NIC address.<br />
<br />
If you don't want the window to close, open a command prompt window -- and then run MC-WOL from within that window.<br />

Is there a utility that allows Wake On LAN on different subnets? &nbsp;I use an old Magic Packet utility from AMD to wake up our network computers after hours to deploy Windows updates via WSUS. &nbsp;This however only works on the same broadcast domain, same subnet. &nbsp;Is this something that can be configured on a Cisco and Extreme Networks Layer 2 switch which will allow WOL?

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
