NASLite Network Attached Storage

been playing with various motherboards - some work others seem not to want to

the board i want to use is an Asus p4b - i thought i had had it working with wol but must be mistaken

am using Naslite2 USB - remote shutdown works perfectly using script from Georg - but not wol - scripr reports computer is off and lets me attempt to turn it on - but it does not work

not the script i am sure as i know i have had it working on other systems i have tried, but maybe not with Naslite2

am i missing something or is there a mod i can do????

Tony:

Do a search for "wol" and "georg" (as author -- which also will show threads where I have replied to other members' issues) ... this issue has come up before and various possibilities for the cause. One of the latest issues I had found -- even on a motherboard that does work with WOL reliably otherwise -- is that if power was completely removed, the magic packet won't work to get the system up. Try turning the system on manually, then after a while perform a shutdown (remotely), wait several minutes and try the remote wakeup (making sure not to manually switch off power or otherwise remove power).

have tried your last suggestion Georg and i cannot wake up the board - maybe it just will not work - it is set in the bios to work

read most of you threads and could not find an answer

wondering if the impending update to 2.06 will solve it

failing that will look at other motherboards

Tony:

Yes, I have high hopes that 2.06 will solve this. May still not work on absolutely every mobo or NIC, but should solve the issue on many that claim WOL ability.

FYI, I have an older Gateway with an Airlink PCI NIC and NASLite 2.05. If I boot a Windows startup disk and then enable WOL once using the NIC's config utility, WOL works every time after that as long I boot DOS or Windows. If I boot NASLite just once WOL won't work again until I go through the above sequence again. So it appears that NASLite is doing or not doing something that effectively disables WOL on that NIC.
