  • 1: Open the Power Option in the Control Panel 2: Select "Choose what the power buttons do" 3: Uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" 4: Select "Save settings" Turn on your PC, use your phone, tablet, other computer, etc. to send a magic-packet to your PC. Should work. If you're trying from outside the network, be sure to forward port 9 to your PC's local IP address.

  • Have you tried checking your Energy Saver settings in Mac OS X? Check System Preferences > Energy Saver to be sure the Wake for Ethernet Network Access is selected under the Power Adapter profile.
