Haha, wake on lan... that's rich. Every PC that I enabled that one worked about 50% of the time, the other 50% I had to hard reset. What a crock of shit.

Computer in a shoebox is easily the most ghetto thing I've seen in a long time 8o But kudos on originality!

You're Doing It Wrong(tm). WoL is extremely reliable, provided you're sending the correct data to the system in the "magic packet." The problem isn't reliability, it's that every damn manufacturer/BIOS/NIC expects different things in the packet. We used to have a test case at HP that was to spam WoL requests with various junk data and other network activity and would see some of the cheaper NICs wake up when they got basic pings or even network discovery requests. We called it "wake on crap." :POriginally Posted by 'Fursphere',index.php?page=Thread&postID=212977#po st212977
Agree 100%. WoL is spotty at best.
[edit] back on topic: Some motherboard manufacturers have settings that allow the system to wake from S3/S4/S5 (S5 = power off) via keyboard, mouse or both. That might be a less expensive/bodgy solution if yours supports it.
