Re: MSN Messenger wake up from stand By?



Michael -
Unfortunately, the magic packets have to go to the NIC card. Since
Messenger is at the Application level, and requires an active Operating
System, there is not a way that you can wake up the system with Messenger.
When your operating system sleeps, Messenger disconnects and is no longer
active.
