* If machine does not have an IP address when it is in standby, then IF you do not
have a router how can you wake it ? Send a broadcast to the entire subnet you are
on with your ISP? That wouldn't be good. And it may not even be passed by ISP's routers.
And if you are dynamic IP like most folks on Cable or DSL, how do you know what subnet
you will be on (if it changes) ?
But then again, this is Wake on LAN not wake on WAN. So maybe I am barking up the
wrong cable.
(I haven't done anything with WOL or Magic whatever, so excuse that I haven't tried
this stuff) I'd want to wake up my PC remotely over the Internet. That may be the
MAGIC thing.
