Am I mistaken, if you have a NIC card and motherboard that supports WOL, shouldn't you be able to turn on a remote PC either through the Internet or your LAN?
I guess I don't understand how this is accomplished if the PC is powered down - how does the NIC card turn on the computer?
I'm using the "Wake on LAN Magic Packet" program but I've not been able to start up my remote Windows XP Pro PC.
I have the MAC and Internet addresses set correctly, the BIOS is set to WOL, and I believe I have the network card configured correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
