[Solved] Wake on LAN - Windows Home Server

Does anyone have any experience getting Wake on Land working with Windows Home Server?

 

I want to do this through Magic Packet and have the OS configured. The only option I see in the BIOS is Wake on Modem (or something similar to that).

 

System:

 

Windows Home Server
Gigabyte P45 UD3R

 

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Is PME enabled in the BIOS?

I'll check tonight, but I believe so. I'm just confused because I cannot find a specific setting that is for Wake on LAN, but do find one for other things (USB, modem, etc)

PME and WOL are the same thing.

In case anyone was still watching the thread - thanks for all the help. Last night I successfully sent a "magic packet" to my server, woke it up, and worked on it.

It's fantastic. Now I have to train the wife to use the server for storing documents, etc (probably will have to automate it for her).

Thanks again
