I tried searching, using ARP -a, but this only gives you a table of active workstation addresses, not sure Windows keep a logs of workstations MAC addresses that are connected to it. So I thought, let's check the Router, and bingo! Some router keeps a log, perhaps briefly, of recently disconnected devices and thus, their MAC addresses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question will be if this is only working for certain computers like HP. I remember setting this WOL options in BIOS of other brands of PCs but failed, despite them having such WOL option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Magic Packet really does work.
