<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> Thanks to
everyone who tried to help. Everything I found on the net pointed to the
windows drivers but, I had no activity on the nic when the pc was powered down.
This perplexed me as the windows drivers don’t affect the status of the
nic then. I also thought it strange that when using Broadcom’s config
utility during boot that WOL would always return to disabled. Once I found the
solution I thought maybe I better post it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> Using
Broadcom’s <a

Broadcom makes it so tough to find this info but they do (at least it was for
me to find). If anyone else is struggling with this, I’d be glad to walk
you through one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I’ve been butting my head against the
wall on this one long enough and thought maybe someone out there might be able
to help me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been trying to setup wake on lan and have had
mixed success. We have some Dells, and some Gateway/MPCs. No problems
with the Dells. No problems with some of the Gateways but, they are from 2
different years. The ones in question are E-2610Ds with the Broadcom Nextreme gigabit
nics. They have a boot agent installed to allow configuration during the boot
process by pressing ctrl + s. When I enable “Pre-boot on lan” and
press F4 to save it looks good but, upon reboot the config has changed back to
disabled. I’ve set the BIOS to allow WOL. Maybe, I’m barking
up the wrong tree as I’m new to WOL. I’ve installed the latest
drivers (had to, to get the configuration for WOL in the NICs drivers).
I’ve made sure that the power options allowed for the NIC to wake it up.
Gateway’s support stinks especially for MPC products but, I suppose I
should be grateful that they are providing any support at all after MPC went
bankrupt. Any assistance would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>BTW, I have Wake on LAN & IH WOL installed on my PC to
send the magic packets. IH WOL has network discovery, allows packets to be sent
to multiple computers at once, and keeps the MAC & IP addresses so they
don’t have to be hand typed every time. Pretty nice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>TIA,<o:p></o:p></p>
