How to switch WAKE ON LAN off
Hi, I have a new Tiny PC (http://www.tiny.com/packages.php?prodid=11482)
and every day or two it turns itself on. I'm guessing it may be something to do with Wake on Lan - and it's attached to my broadband router via Ethernet but I have no idea where to get into the settings to see or to change this. As far as motherboads and BIOS goes I'm a total novice. Any pointers or assistance would be excellent. FIC P4M 800T Motherboard thanks Mike |

FIC P4M 800T Motherboard thanks Mike I've only changed that setting on three machines, but in all cases, it was done through the BIOS setup screen. Assuming your PC is not stolen, it should've come with an instruction manual. Does it tell you how to access your BIOS settings? If not, how about the manufacturer's web site? Unless the designers were insane, the wording for that setting will be exactly what you called it. |

Don't know anything about your tiny machine nut I can tell you that the last
couple of machines I've had used jumper settings on the motherboard. check the manuals for jumper settings, or as the other poster said bios settings. last resort phone Tiny and hang on the line all day!

As far as motherboads and BIOS goes I'm a total novice. Any pointers or assistance would be excellent. FIC P4M 800T Motherboard thanks Mike I don't have any computers set up to WOL, but I understand it's complex - there's a number that has to be embedded in a very special PING packet or "frame" that is specific to the the make and model of NIC adapter, in order for it to actually wake the computer. It's not a password by any means, but it isn't something that should just accidentally happen, either. I'd do a thorough search for spyware, trojans, viri and the like.... you never know. The MB you mention has a built-in RealTek 8100C controller; I've got a similar RealTek 8110C controller on my Gigabyte MB. You could try to disable the "Wake on ARP/PING" in the control panel device manager - go to Control panel system network adapters (your NIC card brand) advanced Wake on ARP/PING - and disable it. A warning - I've never messed with this setting, but it sounds like it does what you want - if it doesn't work, set it back to enabled; it shouldn't cause any trouble. Good Luck! ECM |

ECM Thanks for the suggestions chaps. 1. It's a TINY so no manual!!! (and I paid for it - rather than stole it 2. There is no option in the control panel device setting for WOL and I think it's in the BIOS 3. TINY still have not responded after 3 months - no wonder they are BOTTOM of the pile when customers rank vendors on support!!! 4. I think my question has become - how do I get into the BIOS settings? The F8 stuff on bootup seems to get me into some settings but not BIOS. Any help still apprecited Thanks -- Cheers Mike www.friday-fun.com |
