Chuck, First-Thanks for the help writing my first script!!! Here is a copy
of what I wrote with the numbers changed for security.
Wolcmd 22-44-9z-t8-v4-2h 143.854.0.102 955.955.955.0 8900
There is one space between entries. I used port 8900 cuz I can't see any
reason not to. I have target rig set to wake on magic packet but no waky
with the new script. It does wake using AMD's magic paket. I have
configured my firewall to allow the outgoing packet.
SO a couple more questions. Is this a magic packet sender?
Is selecting a certain port critical?
By the way I started checking out your site. Looks like I'm going to spend
some time there. Nice.

Jim
