Do you know what characteristic of the LAN activity triggers the "wake" event in the PC? I.E. it has to be monitoring /something/ about the network in order to wake up - and whatever characteristic that is (I.E. one or more of [MAC | IP | Port Number | Protocol ] is not being passed by the router (this based on the fact that it works when the packet that wakes the NIC does not pass through the router. I know a lot of routers don't pass ICMP by default - ICMP is [logically, to me] the protocol to use to wake up the PC NIC, but I have not done this before so that may not be useful... > > -Ryan > > > > 0x0000 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CHAOS706.ORG" group.
