Imagine the situation. We want to build a very bewitching and complex mechanism to surprise friends and relatives, but we are faced with a problem. To successfully complete it, we need to remotely boot the computer. And then the corresponding question pops up. It is not at all difficult, as it might seem at first glance.
Attention! All the actions described in the article reduce the security of the computer and, possibly, simplify the work of hackers trying to gain access to your files. Therefore, if it is an office computer or a computer with important information, then we strongly recommend that you do not perform such actions.
Remote computer boot
The initial setup looks like this.
To perform this "magic" trick, we must go into the settings "BIOS". This can be done at the very first boot of the computer by pressing the keys indicated on this screen. If they are not, then you can try the following: f1, ..., f12 or the del key. Going into the "BIOS", select Power Management or APM - computer power management section.
We include the following parameter in it: PowerOn By PCI Card. It may also be called Wake on LAN. There you can find many other interesting parameters about which you can see information on the Internet or experiment and turn it on at your own risk. If you have a UEFI BIOS, then you need to turn off the ErP Ready option.
We save the settings and exit the BIOS. Next, we need to go into the settings of our connection. Select the desired network and go to the "Advanced" settings. Select Wake on LAN, or Wake on Magic packet, WOL and others and enable it. You must go into the power settings and enable the function "Allow the device to turn on the computer." Next, we need a poppy address to find out the ip of our device. Go to the command line as administrator and write ipconfig / all.
For smartphone
If you want to conduct a remote download, then do the following: We go to the noip website and register by entering the necessary data and the host.
In the noip control panel, go to the Hostnames service, where all our hosts are displayed. There you will also find the host you registered with a domain name.
Note! From now on, the router will be available at this address. We’ll go into the settings of your router and go to the Dynamic DNS parameter , put noip in the Service Provider field. Next, specify the registration data noip and host. Apply checkbox Enable DDNS, enter. Found "Connection Status: Successful!" - everything went well. Click "Save." Next we need to make a static ip address. Go to the DHCP parameter - Address Reservation and add a new one.
We write the MAC address of the device and its preferred ip address. The Status parameter must be enabled. Done.
Next, we need to bind the ip address to the MAC address. To do this, we select the IP & MAC Binding parameter, check the Bind box and enter the necessary data below.
Select the Virtual Servers item, add a new one and enter the following parameters:
- Service Port: arbitrary port.
- Internal Port: insert the previous one.
- IP address: insert the address that we made permanent.
- Protocol: UDP.
- Turn on Status: Enabled.
- Save.
Download any Wake on LAN application, launch, add a new connection. Call, click on the button "more information", add the host, port and poppy address. Save.
Now, to start the computer, click on the line with information about the device.
For computer
If you don’t have a phone, or if you don’t want to bother with the settings of your router and host, then you can try to wake up the computer using another one. Download the WakeMeOnLan program to remotely boot a computer to another device. Please note that the program does not require installation. We open. Scan the network.
If the application does not find a computer that needs to be turned on, then add it yourself. To do this, click "File", "Add a new computer." Enter the ip address, name and poppy address of the device that you want to add. Save. After adding the device, we update the list by pressing f5. Done. Now select the device we need and click on the following button:
Remote Download in File Sharing
This allows you to download it from server to server, without a user device. Remote download will save a lot of time, traffic, if it is limited. Also useful if you have low speed internet. For this, we will use letitbit and turbobit - popular file hosting services that pay money for downloading files. Letitbit first. It is not important for us to download the file, just select the one you need on the Internet and click "Download at a slow speed", wait a minute and see: "Your link to download the file", copy the link address. We go to the turbobit file hosting service, go to your account, click "download from another site", insert the link, click "Download". After the download queue ends, your file will be downloaded.
Remote file upload completed.
Conclusion
Now you have taken a step forward in exploring the Internet and becoming a webmaster, you can surprise your friends with your knowledge and a complete, magical mechanism. You also learned that downloading files in file hosting services is not such a difficult operation, which will help you save a lot of traffic and time, which is always not enough anyway. You learned the new features of your operating system and BIOS, which took you to a new development step in information technology. In no case throw your training and never give up when you meet another seemingly unsolvable problem.
