Wake on LAN issues

Go to solution Solved by FireViper015,

Ok, I was screwing around with all kinds of settings and now it works in hibernate mode.

I am moving back into college tomorrow morning and I decided to set up wake on lan and teamviewer on my desktop here so I could have access to it from my laptop while I'm at school. I was initially having trouble with it, and I ended up blowing dust out of my computer and I removed the power supply cable before doing this. After I put the cable back in, I could start my computer from my laptop. It turns out that when I shut my computer down from windows, the onboard ethernet loses power unless turn the power supply off and on again (I can tell by the light that that lights up the ethernet port).

 

Is there any setting in the BIOS or OS that I missed? I have an ASUS Z87-A motherboard in my desktop.

 

Thanks.

usually theres bios settings for wake on lan, and some additional vendor-specific settings (some boards require power on from pci to be enabled for example)

I should have mentioned that I enabled the setting in the BIOS that allows my computer to start from PCI or ethernet. Thanks though

I'm not sure if this is applicable to Asus, but MSI has an Eco feature, which I believe, disables the ethernet port.

Yeah I think there is an eco feature. I'm installing ASUS AISuite now to see if that can fix it.
