Guy Recommends: A Free Wake-On-LAN UtilitySolarwinds Wake-On-LAN

Encouraging computers to sleep when not in use is a great idea - until you are away from your desk and need a file on that remote sleeping machine!

Wake-On-LAN really will save you that long walk to awaken a hibernating machine; however my reason for encouraging you to download this utility is just because it's so much fun sending those 'Magic Packets'.  As Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is free, see if I am right, and you get a kick from arousing those sleeping machines.  WOL also has business uses for example, wakening machines so that they can have their patches applied.
