Thank you for supplying all that info - I'm only familiar with one WOL tool (wakeonlan). I don't know if it's the one you use but... some NICs will always work with:- wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx others require:- wakeonlan -i bro.adc.ast.msk xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eg. wakeonlan -i 192.168.0.255 66:66:b0:a4:22:f6 Cheers -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
