" rel="nofollow - Hello, what have I to do to activate WOL for this board? Background of the question is that I try to configure my new NAS for WOL. My NAS-Software is NAS4Free, a FreeBSD Distrubution, and when I shutdown the NAS even the LAN-Port is whitout Power. No LED is blinking. So far I have already activated "PCIE Devices Power ON" in Advanced-->ACPI Configuration, but still no effect. I have the 90W PicoPSU, could it be possible, that this powersupply deliver no power when it's schutdown?? Thanks for an answer mike |

WoL will not function while the system is actually shut down. The computer must be in a Sleep State for WoL to operate. In "shut down' there is no power feeding any(most) devices. In a Sleep State there is. See http://www.peachworx.com/whitepapers/WindowsShutdownandWake.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.peachworx.com/whitepapers/WindowsShutdownandWake.html |

@wardog thanks for your answer. Hmmh, that could be the problem. I think, that NAS4Free use the command "shutdown -h now" when I use the command in the Web-GUI. Really don't know why, but I will ask for this in the NAS4Free-Forum. Well, one step further to the perfect NAS...  Thanks mike |
