Windows

To wake a machine from a Windows computer there are a few choices.

wolcmd

wolcmd for the command line from Depicus.com is good to use in scripts or by itself. It works 100% of the time for me.

 wolcmd yourmacaddr localserveripaddr 0.0.0.0 9

wolcmd can start the Linux server using wolcmd <-download page, from Depicus.com

Wake on LAN GUI

WOL Magic Packet Sender Tool

WOL Magic Packet Sender, uses a WOL Setup MSI file.  I have used this quite a bit and it does work nicely. It is the first one that I used and have it on my Windows machines.

At Depicus.com you can wake your machine directly from the Internet as well without loading any application via this page –> http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/woli.aspx

There is even a way with the Depicus site to make up a URL that will have the MAC address, IP address and Port as parameters to send a magic packet. I’ve tried it and it works.
