wakup on lan

by icelemon . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

its not an important issue, just some chitchat session.

is this i have notice when i send the “magic” packet to the machine that i want to wakeup, it will only wakup in one condition and i like to ask why.

one condition on the “to be waked machine” is it must be hibernated or shut down normally, so it will be able to receive this “magic” packet.

else if i manually shut the machine without entering windows, it won’t receive any of this “magic” packet

am i correct at this state, or is there something i can do about it?

the config for the first laptop (to be waked):
model: IBM R32
NIC: Intel Pro/100 VE

the config for the second laptop (to wake) :
model: Dell inspiron 4000
NIC: FE575C-3COM 10/100 Lan Carbus-Fast Ethernet

thanks for any tips
