Hi Guys & Gals,
Quick question.....
Has anybody come across a Wake On Lan app for WM6. I have a small home network that I start up from a central PC using Wake On LAN function in the system BIOS. I would like to be able to start my PC's from the Blackstone over my WLAN.
Everything within the LAN & WLAN is running reserved DHCP from the router side so all IP's are constant including the Blackstone.
Cheers for any replies.........
Gilgamesh.......
I don't know if any solution exists but I've read a tutorial (in french sorry) on how to make a wake on line application for wm
http://blogs.msdn.com/pierreca/archive/2009/03/19/wake-on-lan-depuis-votre-t-l-phone.aspx
Hope that could help you
Try this..
jpl69 cheers.........The app works like a charm but is a little basic. Needs the full MAC to be entered manually each time.
What would be really nice is some way of associating the MAC to a short meaningful name that could then be listed so it could just be selected from a list rather than enter the full MAC each time. In this way multiple PC's coud be listed.
While we're at it would also be nice to have a standby button as well so PC's within the LAN could be started and shut down form the app.
I've never written an app before and would either like a few pointers to see if I could do it or see if anyone out there would consider building on the app already posted.
Any suggestion welcome.......
Besides developing an app to that (no time) i could sugest make several shortcuts using resco and parsing the mac as parameter. At least you only had to make it once.
Thanks jpl69 for your continued replies...much appreciated.
I have seen Resco but not realy sure which component to download to edit the exe. I have used PEG (parsing) in other apps at work but just need something to get me started on WM6. I could the replicate the exe per MAC and create a single file or each PC
Might be worth looking at vxUtil: http://www.cambridgevx.com.
This has Wake-On-LAN (among other things), and I think it remembers previously entered values. You can't give things memorable names but it might help.

i think he means, like, create new shortcut with parameters. Just for example the same as on pc creating a shortcut to c:\quake\quake.exe and use the string "c:\quake\quake.exe" +bind mouse1 shoot +set mode opengl blablabla
Again thanks for the continued replies.....
Downloaded vxUtil and had a play and it does have a working WOL option but again it's messy and not really the simple solution I was looking for. It does have some other features (ping/sweep, tracert & DNS lookup) but I don't really have a use for these.
Still really after a single icon to start each PC as per the shortcut suggestion above.
All suggestions still welcome and appreciated.
I will just try to clarify what was the idea of jpl69.
Please read the README file included in the attached archive (posted by jpl69).
It says:
"Command Line:
===============
Please use as following:
WakeOnLan.exe [MACAddress]
MacAddress can be either 01E4523AEE22 or 01:E4:52:3A:EE:22 "
Now with Resco Explorer (or with Total Commander, which is freeware) one can make several different shortcuts to WakeOnLan.exe, each ending with the specific MAC.
In Total Commander, after creating the shortcut, one must select it, choose "properties", then "shortcut" tab, then manually add the MAC at the end of the "target" line.
Copy the ready shortcut several times, name the new copies whatever you want and place those shortcuts in a folder. Dont forget to change the MAC for each machine.
Hope it helps.
Now I get it......Sorry for the slow uptake but been a busy boy and head has been fried by other things. Will have a play tomorrow and post back results.
Many thanks..........
I dont know if you still looking to do this but I got this working & figured I would reply here for future reference.
First i have a linksys DD-WRT router, so I followed these steps:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL
Then I downloaded the attached cab & its one click & works great!

I have been using the WakeOnPocketPC from Depicus happilly with WM 6.1. Now, after upgrade to WM 6.5 (Dutty ROM Leo Holy Grail), the cab fails to install ("...installation was unsuccessful.")
Any other program with capability to send WOL packets to a particular IP address (and not just broadcast over LAN)?
Although this thread is about one year old, before I developed my WoL everywhere program, I searched for programs like mine here and came to this thread... None of the programs I've found fit my requirements, so I made a program myself...
So I hope your search is over and you've found what you need with my little WoL everywhere... you can download it here:

Create a shortcut to WakeOnLan with a MAC address
Hi,
I'm pasting to this old thread since I found the WakeOnLan tool here and want to share my tips with others.
If you want to create a shortcut so that you have a separate executable (say in your Start Menu) then follow these steps:
Install WakeOnLan from the above link. I put it in "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
Browse to this location with explorer on your PPC. Select the WakeOnLan executable and click "copy"
Browse to where you want the shortcut to appear:
"\Windows\Start Menu" will show in your start menu
"\Windows\Startup" will be run when you reset or power cycle the device
"\Windows\Programs" will apear in your Start Menu > Programs folder
"\Windows\Settings" will appear in your system settings
Select on some empty space (not an existing file) in your chosen folder and choose "Paste shortcut"
Use a text editor on Windows / Linux to edit this new file, or one on your device (I didn't have any that would open on my device so I copied it to Linux, edited in emacs, then copied it back)
Edit the line that looks like:
Code:
40#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe"
essentially this is a character count, a "#", the location the shortcut points to, and arguments. Add your MAC address like this and take note of the quotes:
Code:
58#"\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe" AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
count the characters of the shortcut, mac address, and space, then add one. This is your new number (in my case, 58).
An easy way to do this is to use "wc" on Linux:
Code:
echo "\Program Files\WakeOnLan\WakeOnLan.exe AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" | wc -c
57
(remember to add 1!)
Now you can repeat the process and paste as many different WoL shortcuts as you like! I've made just one and called it "WoL MythTv" to wake up my media centre at home. Neat
I'll post my sources in the next post since new users aren't allowed to post links...

i have been compiling my own ROM using the available tools. it is almost at what i would call perfect, except for a few issues that i am unable to solve. any knowledge and help would be highly appreciated!
1) in the Control Panel, i would like to remove the following items:
encryption
managed programs
usb to pc
2) setting the IE homepage: I have set (by adding to an .rgu file)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Abouturls]
"home_0409"="http://www.google.com/m/classic"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Abouturls]
"home"="http://www.google.com/m/classic"
but no matter, after i flash, it always goes to "http://mobile.htc.com"
obviously my settings are being overridden elsewhere, but i have searched for hours and have not found where from.
3) i am trying to delete the registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="Rilphone.dll"
i have placed in an .rgu file the following entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"=-
but no matter, the first entry is always present after flashing.
4) i cannot figure out where the Resco Explorer registration info is located so i can have it registered from the start. i have search and found that i am by no means not the only one with this problem, but no one has reported success.
5) i am using the Vista Cube, and somehow the name entries for the "email" and "sms" tiles have been switched. once, again, i have placed correcting entires, but they are apparently being overridden.
other than these issues, i have created my perfect rom! if anyone can help on any of these, please do report. thank in advance.
P.S. I have posted the same here and here.

Why can't we insert the owner's info in the newest roms (23025-23028)?
Remind that some software can´t be registered without that info...
I don't have one of these versions flashed right now, but check your registry under :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner

One other thing you could do is start Notepad on you desktop computer and put the following in there (this works on 6.1, and "hopefully" might work on 6.5 but I can't verify it as never tried)
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,2
Save the file, rename it to have a .lnk extension to the end of it (i.e. myfile.txt now becomes myfile.lnk). Copy this to your device (c:\windows\Start Menu\Programs) and try and open it off your Start menu. I would recommend if it's something you'll use often (as a workround) because the Owner Icon under Settings, Personal is gone (which is bizarre!) use Restart (credit to Showaco) to give it a better icon (search for Restart in forums).
You can do it the registry way but a couple of the fields might give you a problem as they're binary fields although it might be fine!
I did a search and found a thread on it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1646851#post1646851
Hello friends,
I am trying to figure out how to script a specific registry change which I can toggle off and on on my Rhodium without manually running a registry editor. The registry key I want to be able to toggle between 0 and 1 is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Console\OutputTo
I have searched heavily, and read about MortScript, but I feel there must be a better way to get this very simple task done.
The reason I want to be able to toggle the above registry key between 0 and 1 is to properly run a Command Prompt (like DOS prompt) on our lovely Rhodium. If you happen to be interested in getting the Command Prompt on your Rhodium see the web site listed below (everything will work as soon as we can toggle the above registry key, without being able to toggle the key the Rhodium's boot process will get clogged by the command prompt window, which is quite a nuisance).

If anyone has any ideas I would be very great full. Thank you!
Can't you just cab up two separate registry tweaks and then create shortcuts to them?
Making Cabs from two registry tweaks would be ideal, and I am asking someone for a hint on how to accomplish this.
If anyone has any idea on how to create/write a registry tweak and 'compile' it into a Cab please advise.
Thank you in advance
i could make up a simple EXE to do this will that help?
please PM me more info regardign it
Thank you for the offer, I actually spent more time on it and figured out how to create two .CAB files, one would set the registry to "0" and the other would set the registry to "1", but I was not able to create an .EXE file.
If you have a minute to create an actual .EXE file that would be superb to my solution of two .CAB files.
I am attaching the two .CAB files for the group.
try the attached exe and let me know
just copy to device and run it
I appreciate the attempt, but unfortunately the application you wrote does not produce consistent results in my quick testing. Sometimes pressing Visible changes the registry key and sometimes it doesn't, it seems like pressing the Invisible key has no change upon the registry at all.
If you could revisit the code that would be great.
Thanks
Could some kind person point me in the direction of how to use CIF's (on DJ Droid 1.4, presume it's the same for every rom) along with Windows 7 to share a media folder?
I've (obviously wrongly), shared the folder in Windows, put in the network path, username and password and local path in the CIF's manager but it always fails to mount.
Many thanks.
I've worked it out now, in case anyone is interested, do not use the windows network name, instead do this:
Right click folder in Windows, select properties/sharing then click "Advanced Sharing", check "Share this folder" click ok.
Add the share in the CIFs manager with the windows box IP address and the folder, e.g.
192.168.1.2/Media
Use your windows username and password.
Job done.
what should be entered at Mount Point?

Any path on the phone. /sdcard/cifs/media works fine for me.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Can someone explain how I would use this to access music on my home computer - I have a dns service so that I can remotely access the computer - using the built in htc music player, or is this not possible?
From what I understand, I simply share the folder (samba) in windows but how do I point my phone at that directory?

Note: This will only work on your home Wifi network. If you want to make use of files from your home PC over 3G, you might want to use a VPN.
You'll need a rooted device and a custom kernel that allows CIFS. All AOSP ROMs use CIFS enabled kernels, but if you use a Sense ROM then you may need to install a newer kernel to get this to work (see the "all things Desire" thread in the "Desire Android Development" subforum for kernel options).
Install CifsManager from the market. Find the file 'cifs.ko' on your phone and make sure that the 'path to cifs.ko' in the CifsManager settings points to it.
You'll need to know:
- Your PC's IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.10)
- The name of the share you've created (i.e. Media)
- The name of the Windows user allowed to access the share (i.e. smeddy)
- The password of the Windows user allowed to access the share (i.e. 53cr3t)
In CifsManager, press menu, 'Add new share' and enter the above details. Press on the line in CifsManager with the red dot on the right. The dot should turn green. From now on, to use files from your PC on your phone, just open CifsManager and tap the share to connect.
You should now be able to access the files from the share on your PC as if they were located in /mnt/cifs/<share name> (if you have S-OFF) or /sdcard/mnt/cifs/<share name> (if you haven't).
I was thinking that a folder in the phone can be added as a share and accessed as a shared folder from a Windows 7 PC (the reverse of that mentioned here) using CIFs manager. Can this be done? If so can someone post detailed steps please?
No, as far as I know, that doesn't work yet.
What you'd need for that is an Android port of Samba. Some people over in the Android Software Development forums are discussing that, but I don't think it's working (yet). Edit: Apparently it is. See this thread for more information.
There are several FTPd's for Android in the market, though. That could do much the same thing.
@Cuchulainx
WOW! Thanks man. I was having trouble getting this to work. Couldn't seem to make a connection to my PC shares. Now with your help it works superb.
I can open word documents and excel spreadsheets on my phone from my computer and edit them with Quickoffice. Awesome.
Can also wirelessly transfer files from PC to phone. Cool.
Cheers mate. Clever boy!
great！！want to have a try, but don't know how to start~~
is there any way to get cifsmanager work with windows 7 which doesn't have a password? i get "I/O error" all the time.
