Hello there networking gods! I have an ancient PC from 2009 that I want to wake on LAN but there is no Magic Packet option under the LAN driver. The driver is the Microsoft Windows 10, there is no Intel driver that is supported under Windows 10. I tried installing the Windows 7 x64 driver but to no avail. The motherboard is the Intel DP55WB, the onboard nic is the Intel 82578DC. I have enabled Wake On Lan in the BIOS, set up no-ip DDNS, opened port 9 on the router, configured static IP on the PC and tried to wake both with Wake On Lan android app and TeamViewer. Do I have to buy a PCI-E nic to make it work? Thank you.

Why do i always get blue screens? Why not a red one for a change?

For teamviewer to use wake on lan, you need anouther pc on the network. You really don't want to open up wake on lan through the router.

You can do it from another location provided that you have DDNS. Why would I not want to open a port on the router to wake up the computer?

Thank you but I don't really need advice on security, I just want WOL to work.
