I'd like to be able to wake up my server (IBM thinkpad laptop) using the SB2 remote. I've started and followed several threads on this issue.
Here's what I've arrived at: when I look in the properties tab of my wired ethernet card, I see that there is a power management tab where you can check a box that says "allow this device to bring the computer out of standby." This is the wake-on LAN function, and it works. When I look at properties for my wireless card, I see no such power management tab, and no check box for the wake-on LAN function. So I called IBM tech support (usually pretty good) and ask the rep how to configure my wireless card so that I would have the wake-on LAN option. He said it's not possible because "the wireless card is on all the time and is always receiving signals from everywhere, so how would it know which signal is yours?" This answer betrayed a level of cluelessness that made me not trust it, but I couldn't get anything more useful out of him. It's hard for me to believe that Slim would build a wake-on LAN function into their wireless squeezebox, which then wouldn't work on a wireless network. I don't know where to turn at this point. My wireless card is an Intel pro/wireless LAN 2100 #3b.
