	If you are not one of the lucky ones with a built-in start-up controller (so that the remote can be used to start the computer) or if the computer is in the other room/floor, sometimes it's pretty annoying to go to the upstairs, for example, just to push a button. Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is a network standard, which provides the ability to switch on remote computers through special network packets, called [[w:Wake-on-LAN#Magic packet\|Magic Packet]] from sleeping, hibernating, or powered-off state. It only works with Wake-On-LAN compliant BIOS and NIC.
