Google Magic Packets . . .if the third party router supports them via wireless then you should be able to send one. Generally they a sent from the command line in Terminal, but you can easily whip up an AppleScript to send them using the do shell script command. Once the magic packet has wakened the computer just connect normally. Since it's a mini though, check the power draw . . .with the display sleeping the draw is pretty small.
I have an Airport Extreme for wireless but it is in bridge mode . . .my router is the Actiontec I need for my Verizon FIOS and screen sharing works fine brought it. neil The three kinds of stress…nuclear, cooking and a&&hole. Jello is the key to the relationship.
