How do you activate 'wake on lan' on a sony VAIO VPCCW2S1E?  When I turn on the laptop and press F2 it goes onto a setup page which is very limited changing date/time etc and I don't think it is the BIOS page, as has been mentioned in other posts on how to activate the 'W-O-L'.

Hi whitrks.

As you have a Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (10/100/1000MBit) and not a motherboard embedded network card, you should not need to turn on WOL in the BIOS.  As Vaios have a very limited BIOS - hopefully this is the case.

What else have you tried apart from this?  There is a very good tutorial for activating WOL here: -
