One part solved for now ( I must gather more data after a long stay from home ).
Fact I forgot to mention i use WOL to boot the server it's not ojust the standby part . The server NIC can't remember a thing even if remove the power just a couple of seconds . So power cable must be in even if the server is "off" . Experiment : disconnected the router from network ( to exclude any issues there and also exclude help from recent arp cache ) desktop pc off iPeng off . Turned off the server from the front button ( confirmed OS shutdown ) pressed "on" on my boom who happens to be conected to the same switch , the server booted up fine . Now I briefly removed power from the server , tried to WOL again no sucess . Know I know that . Server will now WOL as usual until next power outage . What surprised me was that it has no memory backup for this ? , so while I'm away working on some project I migth very well have some short power outage at home who I'm unaware of . That explain some of the occasions when this won't work . NIC is on the mobo and the mobo remembers time and other settings so it has functioning backup battery it just this setting that gets dropped . So either it is a setting I can change in the bios or more likely this settings is not stored in any fprom just volatile memory so it is this way nothing to do really . It migth even be so that the network hardware just sits on the mobo but does not really share any memory and functionality with the bios and is its own thing anyway . And I also tested that my wired players can WOL the server without any help from the router . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
