I'm using a SB radio that's less than a year old so I guess its not worth trying the approach you suggest. I agree with you about Ipeng - worth every cent. Unfortunately when Ipeng connects to a server it remembers the MAC address of that server and associates it with the server's IP address. In my setup the minute I use IPeng from the repeater side of the network (i.e. by my bed where I want to use WOLan), it overwrites any previously entered MAC address with the MAC address of the repeater bridge. Thus it is unable to WOLan the server the next time unless I manually overwrite the saved MAC address again. I have fooled around with saving a dummy server IP address with the correct MAC address and then using manual WOL on Ipeng, but frankly it's easier to use NetAwake and I'm not really too bothered about getting Ipeng to do the same job. But it would be very nice to get SB Radio to wake the server 5 minutes before it wakes me up with an alarm as it is designed to. Ironically, I did have this functionality working using Server Power Control. Provided I used the sleep function each night on my SB Radio, ServerPowerControl would set a wake event on the server before the next alarm. It worked most of the time pretty well, but I think ReallyPreventStandby is a better overall solution for me even given this small niggle. -- shawje ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawje's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37017 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
