MODEST GINGER  Fantastic little app. “Do one thing and do it well.” It does absolutely everything a complete WakeOnLAN app should do — and not one thing more. Perfect.

It would be great if you could add support for the Bonjour Sleep Proxy Service. It’s the technology that Snow Leopard’s “Wake on Wireless” uses. It’s an open protocol and shouldn’t be too hard to implement:

Service description:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_Proxy_Service

Source code:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/mDNSResponder/mDNSResponder-212.1/mDNSMacOSX/

Exact protocol (really simple stuff):

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheshire-edns0-owner-option-00

In practice, supporting this would also allow for waking over VPN and waking over Internet (if the router forwards broadcast packets from WAN to LAN).

EVOLEAK  works stable since month. thanx for that little helper!  
(Version 1.0)

MISSINGPERSONS  Great app!   
(Version 1.0)

DEVNEVYN  Love it. Very simple ui, auto-detects computers on the network, is smart about what "delete" from the list means, free! This is exactly what I was looking for.

ARTVANDELAY  Very intuitive. It does what is says. Pure Sweetness. Thanks.

JEFF H.  Is there anything out there that will wake computers that are on a wireless network?

Thanks

JEFF H.  nothing seems to be waking my computers anymore.

One day they were waking, the next they weren't.

ASMEURER  This version doesn't seem to include the Dashboard widget.   
(Version 0.80)

NEUTRALZONE  Great new version! Doesn't crash like the old version. My only request is for it to be able to remember machines by MAC address, since on a DHCP network it will assign the wrong name to a machine since it remembers by IP address, and IP addresses get switched around in DHCP all the time.

CRUCIAL  What more / or less could I ask for.

This thing does what it says it does. It wakes a remote computer connected to a LAN so you can print to it, share files or anything else you want. It requires no software to be installed on the computer to be woken up, or other arduous setup, and waking the remote computer really is as simple as selecting it on a small dashboard widget.

The simplicity of WakeOnLan is refreshing, it might have lots of bells and whistles, but if you don't need them, you don't see them or have to deal with them. A truly polished piece of software, and, unbelievably it is free.

My only gripe is that the widget either needs to be larger, or resizable so that you can see more information, something that can easily be hacked by modifying the widget image file in PhotoShop.

/USR/BIN/PAUL  It would be nice if they bundled a command line version of this, like WakeOnLan command line. The only problem with WakeOnLan command line, is there's no GUI. So it would be cool if 1 app did it all, but for now I have WakeOnLan AND WakeOnLan command line.

ANONYMOUS  Lots of updates to this app lately. Thanks for working so hard on this. Works GREAT!!!!  
(Version 0.56)

ANONYMOUS  My apologies (my post below)

I was being a muppet, I had to fire up the server once to get the application to see it, after that it was fine.

So five stars!  
(Version 0.54)

ANONYMOUS  Well I got excited by this one, the music server is next door and I have chicken of VNC to control it from my iBook. However I have to still go and wake the server up.

Alas although this programme sees it, it does not wake up.

The server is wired to the router and the iBook is wireless.

Still never mind.

PETER O.  .

Thank you for your "How to setup Airport for WakeOnLan" guide on your website. It was a big help for setting up my Airport network properly. Now I can wake up my music server and also print on a printer in my wired LAN via Airport Macs.

Excellent !

JEFF HOOGMOED  seems to only work on hardwired Macs...not wireless.

Worked very well when I wasn't wireless, but now that I've gone wireless it stopped working. I can still connect in my network and mount my laptops HD on my desktop and/or connect in Remote Desktop, so I know it's not that.

Oh well...a definate A though...

J. WEST  Excellent, easy to use, handy utility with a very responsive developer. Ideal for waking a remote server Mac.   
(Version 0.30)

JEDIK  No need to special settings anymore? Just run the app/widget?

PS -> take a looke at your website. It doesn't show correctly in Camino/Firefox.  
(Version 0.30)

ASMEURER  This is good, but how do I use the timer. It is not listed in the documentation.   
(Version 0.23)

ANONYMOUS  See the well established and also free Wake Up.  
(Version 0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Some secrity issues here, no password protection.

Awake status garbled, it says awake macs are sleeping and sleeping macs awake.

Can see problems with waking closed laptops (that can't be good for them).  
(Version 0.1)

NEGRO  Doesn't work for me.

I've got 2 iMacs on Network (Router connected to my ADSL modem). The application recognises the 2nd Mac but can't wake it up even after scanning and verifying.
