Wake on LAN and hibernation
OK, this is a detail, but I'd still like to at least understand why: On my home LAN I utilize wake-on-lan. Cool feature and works well, but I cannot wake up another W2K machine that is hibernated. If it is totally powered off, it wakes up just perfectly.

Anyone have a solution or explanation ??
Essential system specs on the too well hibernating system:
ASUS P2B-F MoBo
3COM Dynalink 3C905C-TX-M Network Card
Router: Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL (BEFSR41)
Windows 2000 SR-2

Stupid question but,
is the WoL cable connected on that machine, if it is, is it connected to where it should be and again if yes did you set up the power saving feature in bios to wake up on Lan.
And again if yes is your NIC's power setting tab states this device can bring computer out of hibernation and this device can be turned off to save power (this will be disabled)

The WOL works perfectly but **only** if the machine is "shut down" from the start menu. If I "hibernate" it WOL does not work.
Not a big deal but I'd prefer to have the machine to hibernate itself after a set period of inactivity and then just wake it up remotely. Now I have to remeber to shut down the PC and have to wait for the whole boot eternity...

I'm using Windows 2000 Professional SP2.
I would if I could, but it won't let me so I won't .
You might want to try up[censored] your ASUS bios and possibly calling Asus for further support on the issue. You could also contact the network adapter's technical support as well.
Good Luck,
