Is the NIC On: If there are no link lights on the back of the computer, where the network cord is plugged in, then your NIC is probably not getting any power. Because of this, it won’t be able to turn on the computer when packets are sent. Check BIOS and / or Windows to see which is turning off the NIC. The next trick will tell you how to narrow down which is causing the problem. Is This A Windows Problem or BIOS Problem: One interesting trick you can do is power off the computer, and then power it back on going into BIOS. Sometimes, Windows turns the NIC off when the computer is powered down, and this action will turn back on the NIC. Now, power off the computer (make sure it doesn’t boot into Windows) and try to wake up the computer. If it wakes up, and it never woke up before, you are probably looking at a Windows setting problem or a driver bug. If it doesn’t wake up, check the BIOS. make sure all the settings are correct, and if they are look into updating or downgrading the BIOS.
