Jimmy's Magic Packet
Jimmy's Magic Packet is a free and super lightweight software that helps you wake up computers connected to your network via LAN. It's designed to be easy enough for anyone to use, even if you're not tech-savvy!
Simple Interface
The app has a really small interface that's simple and straightforward. With Jimmy's Magic Packet, what you see is what you get! All the features are right there in front of you—no hidden tricks or complicated menus.
How It Works
To wake up a computer, all you need is its MAC address. Just type it in and hit the button! One quick tip: make sure that the wake-on-LAN option is enabled in the Power Management section of your BIOS. This little setting helps everything work smoothly.
Saving MAC Addresses
If you're planning to wake up the same computers later, Jimmy's Magic Packet lets you save those MAC addresses. You can easily delete them too, just by selecting the computer name from a drop-down menu.
Light on Resources
The best part? This program barely touches your CPU or memory usage, so it won’t slow down your computer at all! We’ve run some tests, and we didn’t face any problems like crashing or error messages.
Who Is It For?
This app might not wow advanced users since it has limited features—like no ability to wake multiple computers at once or schedule tasks. But for beginners looking for an easy tool, Jimmy's Magic Packet is super user-friendly!
No Recent Updates
The only downside? There haven’t been any recent updates made. However, its simplicity makes it a great choice for those new to this kind of software!
