Yes sorry, I was just tagging onto the does no one else on WAMUG have this
issue at the end of his last email.
It should probably have been no, but I don't do it that way wording lol.
And was dictating and driving so couldn't cut the relevant bit. Lol.

Hi Daniel,
I mentioned to Alan in my first response to his problem on 22 Sept. 2012, that
he only put the display to sleep, not the computer, and it worked, but Alan
does not wish to do this, he wants Wake on LAN to work.
His reply to my suggestion and my reply back is below.

Thanks very much for prompting me about this. I carefully noted all your

If so that could be attributing to the problem, how old is the Router?
Also what iMac do you have, is it one released Mid 2011 or newer?

Hi Alan,
When the iMac sleeps there is no network connectivity. You can put just the

Your response is appreciated and I can make sense of most of it.
