I would like to remote wake up my PC for > other purposes too. (e.g., serving as a photo sharing server via > CIFS/SMB for my Wetern Digital streaming media player, etc.) I would not be surprised if SoftSqueeze is not programmed to send the WOL packet. It was originally written by a user more or less as a try-before-you-buy demo, and has since been picked up as a SB community-supported project. Which is a long way of saying that features such as WOL may not have been included, or high on the list.
The inability of standard WOL utilities to wake the pc is more puzzling. Can you try those utilities on a different pc to see if there may be something about your laptop that is preventing the WOL packet from going out? Or if you have a smartphone you may be able to try a WOL app on that. If you can't get another computer or smartphone to test it then you could look at the network traffic with a tool like WireShark to see if the laptop is sending the WOL packet, but that can get pretty tedious. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92906 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
