I will try not to scream at you. I've read Google, I've done my research, and know that what I say is the last word. They've exampled how WOL works, and as I said, it's a mode the NIC gets set to and then the ACPI shuts the power off. Without this mode, the WOL packets get to it, but it doesn't consider them magic, and as a result, it will not power on the box. There were some examples, but not enough testing/any testing results were posted online so I assume the poster left it stagnant. Wojciech - I get so disappointed, you seem to mislead people more than the rest. I strongly encourage you to read into the topics BEFORE you post to the mailing list. --TJ
