why would you need WOL for a readynas. Not sure it would work anyhow, but the point of the READYNAS DUO is that it is on 24/7. A WOL is for a computer where it goes to sleep and the WOL function wakes the computer up when you use ipeng to select and play music. But again, your readynas is on 24/7 anyhow. p.s. most WOL functions only work on computers that are attached via ethernet. There are some wifi WOL network adaptors but they are not common. So if you laptop is connecting wirelessly, it is doubtful that WOL would work with it. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80940 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
