I have decided what will be my application.

Ok, I have thought to develop a WOL application for android.

-What is a WOL application?
Well, WOL is the abbreviation of  Wake On Lan, in other words, an application wich you can turn on your pc from your android phone via WiFi.


-What i have in this moment?
Today i was researching about this technology and i got goods results in a few minutes. I found a java class wich we can turn on our computer by an easy way.


-What i need for do it?
Well, you just need a pc, a Lan network and the Mac address from the computer wich you can turn on.
Then just compile this java class configuring only two parameters, broadcast mask (192.168.1.255 by default) and the destinity computer Mac address.
Obviously, the destiny computer must have "Enabled" the WOL feature.


-How Do i configure the WOL feature?
Simply, you just have to enter on your BIOS motherboard setup and, normally, in the management section and look for something like Wake On Lan and turn in "Enable".


This is an explanation for how to use the java class attached in this post, now i'm triying to develop an application for Android OS.


Cheers, i hope to write soon with goods news :)
