Re: OT: Wake-On-LAN



Hi Dan,
 
WOL works by sending a special "Wake On LAN" packet to the card. You'll need an app or something similar to wake it from another pc/networked device.
 
 
Regards,

If only there was more configuration for wake-up events - i.e. wake when any traffic on this port, but no such luck.  The Bios has wake events > then options like VGA, FDD, HDD, Wake-on-ring, etc.  Win2K can set the netcard to wake-on-LAN, but doesn't seem to wake on any generic LAN traffic.
 
The spacewalker was the barebones system discussed last week.  FYI: I put a p3 1ghz, 512 RAM, 60GB IBM Deskstar, Videologic Sonic Fury, and Pioneer black -faced DVD ROM drive in it.  It looks super cool.  There's loadsa inputs on the back and the TV outputs work great (only tried composite so far - still to try the SVHS).
 
Running about 40 degrees C so far so okay.  There is *very* little room inside the case now after the PCI card is in.  The harddrive covers about 1/4 of the Mobo fan, then the PCI card (resting on the memory DIMM's!) lays over the top of the hard drive.  This is all then covered up with the DVD drive.  So as you can imagine, system temperature is a concern, but so far no problems.

If you set it to wake up on any traffic & don't have a switched network it'll never suspend for long due to the broadcast nature of networks. Whether you can set this option seems to depend upon your NICs & Motherboards BIOS.
 
What's a spacewalker BTW?
