<p><font size="4">Bob,</font></p>
<p><font size="4">The potpourri meetings are a group of people
presenting for one meeting? I'd be up for that. It would be
great if there were one Mac user with Ethernet at home to talk
to waking up a Mac remotely. Linux can wake up too if the
hardware supports it. Are there any potential Linux users with
wake on LAN compatible hardware? A meeting that covers all three
angles might work.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">If a Windows computer that you want to remote into
goes to sleep because it's set that way by default then there is
a good reason to know how to wake up a computer remotely so you
can initiate whatever remote access software you choose to use.
I would imagine that none of the free remote control software
programs allow you to remotely wake the computer.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I imagine it's comforting when traveling to know
you can use your cell to wake up your computer when you're away.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">What I would do (Will do as a test just to know I
can.) is first choose a remote desktop program that can
auto-start when the computer boots and not require the user be
logged in first. Then, see if I can make it work with my current
hardware.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Google Remote Desktop meets these requirements. It
requires the Google browser on the host, which I use anyway.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Next, gain access to my home network router via
Open VPN on my cell phone. I'm pretty certain if port forwarding
is turned on in advance you don't need to be VPN into the local
network. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Then, run a wake up app on my cell. There are
several to choose from.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I just discovered a few minutes ago that
Teamviewer supports wake on LAN inside it's remote access
product!! I looked for it on my computer but couldn't find it.<br>
</font></p>
<p><b>ALSO: Teammviewer is a great remote control app that is free
for personal use.</b><br>

only be woken up from sleep mode. Windows and Linux PCs, however,
can be woken up from sleep and hibernation mode as well as being
fully powered down, so long as the hardware supports this. "<br>
