WOL help pls

[-Setro-]

soo, i enabled WOL in BIOS and my network card settings, and it wont seem to turn on.
I'm using an app on my phone called WakeUp (iOS), and I have the settings in there I used to port forward (IP address and port).
both the phone and computer are connected to the same network (thus lan).
now, do I use the IP address I find on whatsmyip.org, or the one I'm finding on my computer itself?
both seem to be different somehow

also i'm using the mac address i got from my computer using cmd> ipconfig /all

You want to use your local IP address.

A public IP address (what connects you to the internet) looks like: 99.231.50.103
A local IP address looks like: 192.168.0.103 (always starts with 192.168.x.x)

You can find your local IP address by running

Code: [Select]

ipconfig /all in your command prompt

Alright, cool, I figured.
But, why wont my network card let me turn on "allow this device to wake the computer" from it's config?
It shows the option "wake on LAN" in BIOS.
Here's a list of all the network adapters it says I have:
Bluetooth device
another bluetooth device
Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter*
Realtek PCIe GBE family controller
TAP windows adapter v9

the one i starred is the one i cant turn on the option "allow this device to wake the computer"

WOL only works on ethernet devices, you would need to plug your computer into a ethernet network.
