Cant remember if I have asked this before - but has anyone actually got WOL to work for these unit yet?

What OS are you using?

I can wake mine via WOL. I'm running ESXi 4.01 and use the Solar Winds WOL Tool. I have the ESXi guest OS set to resume automatically on ESXi startup.

What OS are you using?

W7 Home Premium (not really using for massive server duties). I tried when I first got the unit months back, and couldnt get it working. Have managed without it, so its not major, but just wondering. I did use the solar winds tool, as I've used that with my other computers in the past, but to no avail.

It's usually a case of enabling it under adapter properties and in BIOS.

Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Centre>Local Area Connection>Properties>Configure

And from there it depends on the card/driver but for an Intel NIC it's under Power Management:

Yep, done that. I'd setup WOL a number of times for computers (usually for family member ones that I can help administer the system using logmein) so not a stranger to it. I enabled the options as per usual - in my case for the Microserver:



Note the first option is needed otherwise the other 2 are disabled. I also remember trying out some application that you run on two computers to test the sending and receiving of magic packets, though I cant remember the results. Net effect though was no WOL. Its the only computer I've not been able to configure in 5 minutes for this, so strange - will have to dig out some apps and see try again. Could be driver version too maybe, who knows. Anyone with it working on W7?

[watercooled]

And it's definitely enabled in BIOS?

[jonathan_phang]

99% sure - I will have to give it a check.

Are you trying to WOL on the LAN, or across t'internet? A lot of routers will drop the magic packet silently.

[watercooled]

Plus it's working at the MAC layer so it shouldn't be passing through routers anyway. You'd need to get something on the same LAN to transmit it.

Anyone got a stick of RAM lying about that they'd be keen to offload from one of these units, through upgrading?

Got a stick out of mine, £6?

[Tifosi]

Done assuming its the stock RAM, any chance you work in the City?

Sent you a PM to keep thread on topic

On the off chance that anyone bought one as an impulse buy and is now having second thoughts I'm in the market for a second. If I don't get any offers by the end of the week I'll just pick up a new one, but....

Could someone tell me is this server faster than Qnap TS-439 Pro II+ Turbo Nas
