I have a VB6 program that runs a Wake On Lan. It works fine on my computers that are running Windows XP but my computers that have
Server 2000 or Windows 2000 it won't start the computers. Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get 2000 products to work.

Thanks Mark
 
I don't see how the OS that you are running on the PC would have any affect
as to whether WOL would work. When the PC is powered off and you send a WOL
packet the PC has no idea what OS its running; the OS only starts booting up
AFTER the network card receives the WOL packet.

Have you checked the PC BIOS settings?
