WakeOnLAN Method

Sends a Wake-On-LAN packet.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub WakeOnLAN(ByVal RemoteHost As String, ByVal MACAddress As String)

[C#]
public void WakeOnLAN(string remoteHost, string MACAddress);

Remarks

When this method is called, a "Wake-On-LAN" packet is sent to RemoteHost (which may also be a broadcast address). This has the effect of powering on the machine (if such functionality is supported by the network card on the remote machine).

The physical address of the remote host must be supplied in the MACAddress parameter.
