Sorry for not listing the setup - but since it worked for me first time out, I thought it was a no-brainer and that it worked for everybody... Here are the details:
Slimserver running on an old Advance 9 PIII motherboard with a RealTek RTL8139 NIC that is on my LAN (note: not WLAN), i.e. connected to one of the 10/100 MBit/s ports on my: Wireless router: Linksys WRT55AG running firmware 1.30 (the most recent one, from April I believe). Please note that this is by no means an advertisement for Linksys - but the router was fairly cheap here in Denmark, that's why I bought it. The PCs from which I can wake the Slimserver PC are: 1) A home assembled P4 system with a Linksys WMP55AG WLAN NIC 2) An IBM T41 with the build in WLAN NIC (I believe it is an Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100) 3) A Compaq Armada M700 with a 3Com XJack NIC (3CRPAG175) And then I run out of PCs... ;-) It makes me wonder that it works if nobody else has gotten a WOL/WLAN setup to a functional state - especially since the NIC in my Slimserver is not onboard and the WOL functionality is implemented with a small and not very nifty cord from the NIC to the motherboard (I believe this was changed with PCI 2.1 or 2.2?). Also, I could understand if it only worked using the same make in network gear, but unless Intel has bought 3com and Linksys this is not the case. The utility I use for sending magic packets is downloaded from AMD: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/magic_pkt.exe (line may wrap) Maybe that is what makes the difference...? Hard to tell since nobody has reported what equipment it does not work on. BR, PS By the way, I will try to figure out how to post this to the bug reports you mentioned. -- getprogs _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
