WOL after power failure

[ryvboy]

Hi all..

When there's a power fail I can't start my pc in WOL but i've to start it manually..

i read this

Some machines do not support Wake-on-LAN after they have been disconnected from power (e.g., when power is restored after a power failure). Use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) will give protection against a short period without power, although the battery will discharge during a prolonged power cut. If a machine that is not designed to support Wake-on-LAN is left powered down after power failure, it may be possible to set the BIOS to start it up automatically on restoration of power, so that it is never left in an unresponsive state. A typical BIOS setting is AC back function which may be on, off, or memory. On is the correct setting in this case; memory, which restores the machine to the state it was in when power was lost, may leave a machine which was hibernating in an unwakeable state.

what can i do?
i discovered the wol connector on the mobo isn't connected with the network card.. could connect that solve the problem?

is it a mobo or a network card problem?

thanks

In the BIOS there should be a option on enable Wake On Lan (WOL). Once this is enabled, you can send a WOL "packet" to the network card using, for example, AMD Magic Packet, or other Magic Packet Utilites.
