Hey folks,

I have the above motherboard and have set-up a home theatre PC. I am
trying to implement wake-on-LAN to respond to pings, magic packets, etc.
because I have a web server running off it and don't want to leave it on all
the time...S3 suspend works best.

I can get this thing to wake-up with a magic packet on the LAN side, but
that won't be very useful from the WAN side because I am behind a router.
The power management settings for the 3COM onboard NIC suggest there are RWU
ARP, RWU Ping, StdbyWU Ping, etc., which to me implies that it should wake
with ping requests. I can only get this thing to wake with magic packets.
Anyone know how to correctly configure this NIC? What I am ultimately trying
to do is set-up a web server on this thing with an appropriately forwarded
port on my router such that a call to that address will wake the machine and
display its page. I have a Linksys LNE100TX ver. 5 in another machine that
does just that and hope the 3COM on this board can do the same.

Thanks,

Dave
 
Make sure in the BIOS you have WAKE/RESUME ON PCI Device enabled. Also, in
the device properties within windows for the NIC, make sure you check
"Enable this device to bring system out of stand-by"

This works for me in a similar set-up, although a slightly different Asus
MB.
 
Thanks, but there is no option in the BIOS for this board. However, WOL
Magic packets work just fine. NIC options configured to permit all forms of
WOL.
