Especially on newer systems, seeing the LAN connection and activity lights flash while the system is in S5 is not an indication that the system is waiting for a WOL packet. It is probably waiting for unattended BIOS upgrades and other "lights out" management events you will never use on a home PC. It is a good indication that the PSU is providing correct ATX power to the board, which is encouraging :)
You can send a "magic packet" to wake the server just as the SB is supposed to do. Wikipedia has a 'pretty comprehensive' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#Microsoft_Windows) list of utilities to do the deed. If you can wake the system using another PC then you will have isolated the problem to be network-related. Use a simple wired connection between the systems (switch is OK), do not use wireless for either system (or as a bridge between them). -- syburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51123 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
