This is odd: I can ether-wake my desktop from another computer on my home lan, but I can´t ether-wake it while ssh´ing to my gateway from an outside computer (win pc at work). However, I can ether-wake another sarge machine running in a abit+athlon with via-rhine eth card. Why is that? The system is a sarge machine, the eth card is an onboard via gigabit (via-velocity module), in a abit/sempron desktop. The gateway is a coyote linux p1, if it matters. Thanks for any inputs! bruno
etherwake uses ARP/raw ethernet packets, you need to be on the local LAN and sometimes same switch to wake up your box
if you're on the network + same switch, make sure your BIOS is setup correctly.
