How to send a WOL Magic Packet?I want to write a little app that will send out the special "magic
packet" to start up a computer on my LAN. I've downloaded a couple of free apps that do this but they're rather simplistic (eg: they don't save the needed info from one use to the next). I'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult to write something myself. But, I don't know the details of what the "magic packet" is made up of or how it's laid out. I think it's a UDP message but that's about all I know. Can anyone point me to something that would tell me what I need to know? Maybe even some VB6 code? Thanks Can you post the code you have already (all of it), or point us to the code
you're using?

In all of 30 seconds I had an answer. I stuck it in VB and it worked. Michael On Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:25:54 -0500, "Randy Birch"

FWIW, I had been googling for "wake on lan", searching both in the groups and on the internet in general and had been unsuccessful in finding any code. Thanks again.
