In combination with remote access software, it is a breeze to set up and use, to connect to your remote computer from anywhere even if it is powered off, in hibernation (Windows) or sleep (Mac) mode. The starting point of this setup is a feature available to pretty much all newer computers known as Wake-on-LAN (or WOL), which-as the name suggests-turns on your computer through your local network. Wake-on-LAN is enabled in the remote access software.At least one other computer on the network is online and running remote access software.Then, you need to meet four requirements: So, how do you access a remote computer that is shut down?įirst of all, you have to have a remote access software that allows Wake-on-LAN. Luckily, most of the better equipped remote access tools will let you access it anyway with a few tweaks made beforehand. I work for the ISP and can confirm my public IP address assigned to my router did not change.You know that awkward situation when you need to tap into your remote computer but have forgotten to leave it running? That. As soon as I arrived at work, I tested it again from both my phone, and my workstation, and now neither are working. I put my PC to sleep, and was able to wake it while connected to the same wireless network with my phone, as well as when disconnected from wi-fi and using the app over LTE. I tested this feature while still at home using the Teamviewer app on iOS. Created a windows firewall exception on port 5500 to allow traffic for both TCP and UDP.Confirmed internet connectivity is working after static IP assignments and port forwarding.Configured router to port forward any traffic on port 5500 to 192.168.0.2.Statically assigned that private IP 192.168.0.2 to my desktop NIC.Statically configured my router to assign 192.168.0.2 to my desktop's MAC address.
My desktop is hard wired directly to my router.I have configured Wake on LAN in Teamviewer via public IP address through port 5500.Client PC is running Teamviewer 13 on Windows 10.Needing assistance with using the Wake on LAN feature.
