WOL.EXE - Wake On LAN 
 
WOL.EXE broadcasts a "Wake On LAN" packet to the Network Interface Card (NIC) with the specified MAC address.

Example:

wol 5c9d32b5f287


Notes: 
The motherboard must support Wake On LAN. 
The NIC must support Wake On LAN. 
There must be a wire connecting the motherboard's WOL port to the NIC's WOL port. 
The Wake On LAN feature must be enabled in the motherboard's BIOS. 
The "Good Connection" light on the back of the NIC must be lit when the machine is off. 
Port 12287 (0x2FFF) must be open. 
Packets cannot be broadcast across the Internet.  That's why they call it Wake On Lan, not Wake On Internet. 
To find your MAC address, run the MSINFO32.EXE tool that is part of Windows.  Navigate to Components > Network > Adapter.
