Firstly, I have "Wake on LAN" enabled in the BIOS. Secondly, rather to my surprise the ethernet light goes off when I "Hibernate" (I should confess at this point that I am running Centos-5.3 on this machine, but thought that I was more likely to get a helpful response on the Fedora list!) but stays on when I shutdown. In neither case does ping or (attempted) ssh have any effect. How exactly is one meant to "wake from LAN". -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
