Hi all, Does anyone here use wake on LAN? Here is my situation. I have an old computer that I set up to be a web server and remote ssh machine. It runs all the time. My personal desktop, currently running F7 x86_64, I turn off except when I am using it. I recently started experimenting with wake on LAN to be able to remotely turn on my personal desktop from the web server machine. I found a Perl script, wakeonlan, to send the needed packet. Wake on LAN is enabled in the BIOS for my personal desktop machine. Here is the issue. If I turn on my computer and turn it off before it leaves the BIOS screen (that is, before booting Fedora and shutting down), I can successfully turn on the computer over wake on LAN. However, if I have just shut down from Fedora, wake on LAN does not work. The NIC seems to be on after shutting down like I would expect, but it just does not work. I do have a copy of WinXP Pro installed for dual-boot, but I have not tried using wake on LAN after booting Windows (I can try that sometime). So, finally a question. Is Fedora (possibly) doing something that would disable wake on LAN for the NIC when I shut down? If anyone has some experience with this, I would appreciate some help. Thanks. Jonathan
