Oh well, ignore my email... another way is to install a remote monitoring card in the machine (though this may not be possible with its small form factor) which will give you access to the machine (usually via www) even when its powered off.

Subject: [ukha_d] OT: Wake-On-LAN

Hi Guys,

 

Sorry for the OT, but I need a little help with my new spacewalker box, which by the way, is incredibly sexy and very small :)

 

Anyone know how (and if it's possible) to power up the machine from standby (i.e. Wake-on-LAN), when anyone tries to access the machine via LAN, without first having to fire a magic packet to it? (The netcard does support WOL)

 

I want to be able to power the machine down (automatically after non-use), but start it back up when someone wants to use it remotely.  Playing around with the BIOS on this new box allows it to be turned on at a preset time each day, so it could turn itself on at 8am every morning for example, then standby after 30mins inactivity, etc.

 

Any help?

 

Regards,

-Dan
