You're perfectly on topic, as far as I'm concerned.
<rant>There are WAY too many services these days that push packets at the local subnet's broadcast address...and will thus wake a NIC configured for permissive wakeup. E.G.: I've been using Windows Live OneCare on a laptop. It sill tries to get status updates from computers it "saw" over a year ago on networks I visited when traveling in other cities. I've had to program my router's firewall to filter out those junk packets from going out onto the internet. And there seems to be no easy way to tell OneCare to 'forget' those IP addresses. Stupid, stupid design. Thankfully, that product will die a well deserved death in a month or so when MS launches Security Essentials.</rant> -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
