On some machines you must turn this feature on bios. On machine you want to wake, check this: Make sure the network card is switched to the MagicPacket WOL method run in termina/console: "ethtool eth0" eth0 is interface connected to the network. Look for the "Wake-On" line.It should be "g". If it isn't. run "ethtool -s eth0 wol g". Make sure the network card is set to MagicPacket WOL method automatically at every boot. Machine sending out the call to wake-up needs only app to send magic packet("wakeonlan" command). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
