Does anyone know how to format a magic packet and send it with the Internet Suite?
Thanks |

I could never figure out how to do this with VDS and any of the extentions so, I've always used "WolCmd" for this.

It seams simple enuff. But converting the mac and ip into the right format in the packet seams to be my problem.
Thanks for the site, the command line utility would work for me and may be where I go with it. The protocal package and vds should be able to handle this. As least I think it should?
quote from http://www.jibble.org/wake-on-lan/

A Wake-on-LAN packet is an ordinary UDP packet which contains the MAC address of the target computer. For reasons unknown to me, the UDP packet must be 16 times larger than the byte representation of the MAC address, plus an extra 6 bytes for a header. A MAC address is usually specified as a string of hexadecimal digits, for example 00:0D:61:08:22:4A, so can be represented using just 6 bytes. This makes the total packet size 6 + 16*6 = 102 bytes.
The first 6 bytes of the packet are filled with 0xff. I'm not sure why!
The next 6 bytes are the MAC address of the target computer
Each subsequent set of 6 bytes is also filled with the MAC address of the target computer, until the packet is full.

I once made a program for sending Wake On LAN packets in VDS using an extension, I can't remember which one. It's on another computer I don't have access to right now but I'll try to remember to post the source on here when I can.

I have not tested this but I beleive it to work. If not let me know and I will do some testing.

# The packet starts with either 6 @chr(255) or @chr($FF)

Hi briguy,
a character $ is used as a label for hexadecimal number
where
01,02,03,...,08, 09 are as decimal numbers 1 - 9
0A = 10
0B - 11
.
.
0F = 15
10 = 16
11 = 17
.
.
1F = 31
20 = 32
.
.
and so one 
well, e.g. @chr($0D) is the same as @chr(13)

I had to make an update to the code above. It seems that the documentation that I wrote that from was short 6 bytes for the packet. Also I might note that there are two different drafts for WOL so if the extra 6 byte do not work put it then drop the frist 6 @chr(255)'s at the begining of the %p variable and try again.

dragonsphere,
Thank you so much for the code.
Unfortunately its not working with or without the dropped @chr(255) or the @chr($FF) with 6 or 12. I did download and tried a command line WOL exe that was provided in Aslan responce.
The WOLCMD.exe that I tried did start a machine that I have on the network useing same port mac ip etc.
I would prefer doing WOL in VDS vs command line. Any Ideas?
Also a question:
Where 00: in the macaddr this is represented by the ^NULL^ correct?
| Code: |
# %%Macaddr = 00:0D:61:08:22:4A
#%%Macaddr = ^NULL^@chr($04)@chr($E4)@chr($F1)@chr($18)@chr($81)
