I never used Wake-on-LAN , so this is theoretical but should work:

- ping the PC (you could have a small batchfile on your desktop)

- a static network share in explorer, just hit F5 to refresh drives, that should also poll the networked computer.

I was having a discussion with someone about this the other day. How could it possibly respond to an IP query? The computer's asleep and the NIC doesn't know what IP it's on.

I assumed you'd have to wake it up by specifying it's MAC address somehow?

"How could it possibly respond to an IP query? The computer's asleep and the NIC doesn't know what IP it's on."

ARP cache .... though it forgets IP-to-MAC when you reboot that machine. Thx for the reminder FP, I totally forgot about this issue.

Open notepad, enter the following two lines and then save as "wake-up.bat" :

arp -s 192.168.0.102 00-aa-00-62-c6-09 (your own MAC-address

)
ping 192.168.0.102

See if that works (it should work for Win95-XP).
