aus - thanks for your input. I'd love to get this working, so any help you
can provide will be greatly appreciated. I have a situation where traveling
users connect laptops to the LAN over VPN, then want to access their
desktops but they're powered down. For now, I'm trying to get it working on
my new Dimension 8400 with broadcom gigabit NIC.
I enabled WOL in the bios. I verified the setting you describe, and enabled
the "allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" setting. No
go.
While in standby, the PC responds to pings, and I can even access it
remotely with Computer Management. But I tried 2 WOL magic packet programs,
and can't get the PC to come out of standby.
What I really want is to wake it from a full power-down state, but I can't
even get standby to work.
