    Wake on LAN problems

    Thanks for the all the input. I did drop the firewall for a time and had admin rights on the live PC but it still would not roll out of bed. I did finally get it going. I was missing one more setting on the NIC in Windows, enabling PME. I remembered PME mentioned in one or two of the...

    Wake on LAN problems

    Tried PS Shutdown but it would not 'install'. From the command line it said it could not install psshutdown service, access denied, if I am already executing a shutdown process I should abort it first. However, I'm not sure shutdown 'without power off' is really what I am after. Is it...

    LAN vs Wifi internet connection problem

    I couldn't get much more looking into the NAT, but after some more investigation the problem was with missing DNS servers.
