Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.
If you have Wake-On-LAN (WOL) enabled on your system's LAN adapter, you can use a WOL utility to wake your system from sleep. However, some computers have limitations on Wake-On-LAN, and it might not work reliably from sleep mode.
Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Check that your computer's BIOS settings are configured correctly for Wake-On-LAN. Make sure that the "Wake On LAN" or "Wake On PME" option is enabled in the BIOS.
Check that your network card's settings are configured correctly for Wake-On-LAN. Make sure that the "Wake on Magic Packet" or "Wake on Pattern Match" option is enabled in the network card's properties.
Ensure that your laptop is on the same network as the sleeping computer, and that it can reach the sleeping computer's IP address.
Try a different WOL utility. There are many free WOL utilities available online, and some may work better than others with your particular system.
Consider using a remote access tool, such as Remote Desktop or TeamViewer, which can wake your computer from sleep as part of the connection process.
If your computer still doesn't wake up from sleep using WOL, you may need to consider other options, such as setting your computer to hibernate instead of sleep mode, or leaving it on all the time.
Regards.
