WakeOnLan


Start your PC via your WiFi enabled Mobile Device

Insanely simple program to send some magic packets out to a specified MAC address.
Just extract and run. No Installer needed or included.

Can be used as a command line tool or just by starting and entering the MAC Address in the popup Window.

Command Line:

Please use as following:
WakeOnLan.exe [MACAddress]

MacAddress can be either 01E4523AEE22 or 01:E4:52:3A:EE:22

One way to set it up for easy use with just one PC in you your home is to create a shortcut to the program, and then use a file exploerer (e.g. Total Commander) to change the shortcut and add the MAC address to the end of the command. If you place the shortcut in the start menu you should be able to start your PC by simple pressing the program icon in the start menu.

Requirements
You need WiFi. If you don't have it there is no way this will work.
Should run on any device that has .NET CF 2.0 installed. (Only tested it on my Blackstone though)
