Hi all,
I use TeamViewer, have for years - great too - especially if I am travelling and want to securely access something on my home PC, I can access it from TV mobile or from my laptop. I use to leave my PC on, mainly for this reason.
I was reading about how to enable TeamViewer to use wake on LAN - meaning if I could just have my PC sleeping, and then send a wakeonLAN message to wake it up when I need to - access what I need -then have it sleep again. Saving power etc. I have read on the TV site that I can do this from either mobile or laptop via internet.
I have read the TeamViewer instructions on this, and while it seems a bit complicated I thought I have followed it - but I cannot get it to work. Hoping some of the experts here can guide me and help troubleshoot for me?
Firstly, I am running Win 10, latest version of TV - plus 'Teamviewer for Remote Control' on Android.
My router is running Gargoyle, and my ISP used dynamic IP's.
Here are the guides I have been following:
1) https://www.teamviewer.com/en/res/pd...-on-LAN-en.pdf (Yep I know it's for TV 9, but I can't find an updated version)
2) https://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/4...eamviewer-work (their support page)
As I want to do this from the internet, it seems I need a dynamic DNS provider. SO, here is what I have done so far:
- Set up a free dynamic DNS domain via changeip.com (it's set up using the domain (myname.changeip.org )
- PC is set to enable wake on LAN in BIOS
- Network controller has both 'allow this device to wake the computer' and 'only allow a magic packet to wake the computer' selected in device's power management settings, and also the option 'wake on magic packet' is enabled (from advanced tab)
- Team viewer is configured with Wake on Lan enabled for public address - I used the domain above (myname.changeip.org), and port 9
- In my router, in the Dynamic DNS setting, I added the same domain (myname.changeip.org)
- In my router, I added a port forward - type UDP, from port 9, to IP 192.168.1.254 port 9 (wouldn't allow 255) this part was a bit confusing in the TV instructions but I think this is how it should be
When I turn the PC to sleep, and then try and access it via teamviewer on Android, the PC shows offline. There is an icon that looks like a power icon, but clicking it does nothing. And yes I did test it using the mobile phones network, not from my home wifi.
WHat am I doing wrong?
TeamViewer will send the Wake-on-LAN information to the one PC running TeamViewer, and that PC can send the Wake-on-LAN packets from within the network. You won’t have to set up port-forwarding, use third-party tools, or worry about the remote IP address. Ensure 24/7 access to your computer without having to leave it running all the time. With the new Wake-on-LAN feature, you can now wake up your computer remo.
Teamviewer Wake Up Lan
Teamviewer Wake On Lan Does Not Work
- Wake-on-lan doesn't work over the internet. That's a good thing, do you want random people waking up your system via the Internet? Your computer is behind a router. Pretty much anywhere your phone has Internet service, it is also behind a router, whether municipal Wifi, Starbucks, your workplace, etc. WOL packets are broadcast packets.
- Needing assistance with using the Wake on LAN feature. Here is what I've done so far. Client PC is running Teamviewer 13 on Windows 10. I have configured Wake on LAN in Teamviewer via public IP address through port 5500; My desktop is hard wired directly to my router. Statically configured my router to assign 192.168.0.2 to my desktop's MAC.
- I would like to wake up one of my computers,le'ts call it 'A' from the computer 'B'. The computer A that I want to wakeup is totally turned off. Both the computers aren't located on the same room,but they share the same LAN. Usually I work on the room where is the computer 'B',that I can turn on manually without any problem.
