Well, I'm trying to use WoL to turn on my brothers computer, but I can't. I've used three different programs and non of them worked. Now even though WoL capabilities are common now a days is there any way to check if you have them, cuz I'm thinking my brother doesn't.

There's usually a setting for WoL in CMOS, or a configuration in the BIOS of the motherboard.

I'm trying to get into the BIOS but I can't seem to find the button to press during the boot. What's usually the button to get into the BIOS?

Try F1 F2 F10 F11 Del Esc, I can almost guarantee it's one of those. Just mash all of them as it's POSTing, that's what I do.

It was delete. So I got in, but I couldn't find the settings for WoL? Are there any tutorials for enabling WoL capabilities? Also, seeing as WoL is a network compatible thing, is it possible I should go into my Network Adapters configuration during boot to see if I can enable WoL from there?
