PURPOSE
-------
Wake On LAN Ex is an application designed to be used with
computers that contain network cards which are set to
turn on when a "magic packet" is received.

Running Wake On LAN Ex, entering the required details, and
hitting Send will cause the WOL-enabled computer to turn itself
on and boot as normal. Depending on its WOL abilities, the destination
computer can be sleeping, hibernating, or entirely off and
still be able to react to a Wake-On-LAN event.

NOTE: Wake On LAN Ex performs a check on its executable filesize
when it starts. If the filesize is different to what was expected,
it will display an alert showing that fact. The cause of this could
be a corrupted Wake On LAN Ex.exe executable, a virus infection that
has modified the executable in some way, or some other reason.

If you get this alert, it is strongly recommended that you first
re-download the software and if you still get the warning, that you
update your anti-virus software and perform a full system scan.


INSTALLATION
------------
Simply extract the archive to any location and then double-click
on the Wake ON LAN Ex.exe file to run it.

Wake On LAN Ex requires absolutely no runtimes at all to function;
it will work on a freshly installed installation of Windows even
if no other applications have been installed beforehand.


USAGE
-----
Run the program, as noted above, and enter a network mask into
the first textbox (255.255.255.255 is the default) and the
MAC ID of the computer you would like to wake-up into the
second textbox. The ID can be obtained by the following means
(do this on the computer that you would like to wake-up,
NOT on the computer that is sending the WOL signal!) ...

A) Windows NT. Open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL
followed by Return. The value listed after Physical Address is
the MAC ID.

B) Windows 95/98/NT4. Type WINIPCFG and locate the 12-character string.

To be able to Log-Off, Restart, and Shutdown other computers
running Windows, you will need to have a user account on those
computers and be logged in (logging in by checking a shared
folder generally works). You will also need to be using an
NT version of Windows.


UNINSTALLATION
--------------
Make sure the main application isn't running and just delete
the main directory to remove the entire program from your system.


TIPS
----
Pass WAKEUP to the application to get it to wake up the last
specified computer (from the last session) and then instantly
close itself down.

  Example: "Wake On LAN Ex.exe" WAKEUP

Please note that this is a very rudimentary implementation
and may be prone to problems (eg. exiting before fully sending
the WOL signal).
