    How to use SB2 remote to wake up server?

    This is supposed to be a feature of 6.2, but I see no documentation about it.

    I'd like to be able to put my computer to sleep and have it wake up when I press the SB2 remote control.

    When my machine (XP-based) is sleeping, and I press a button on the SB2 remote, the screen says "waking slimserver" followed by "problem: couldn't connect to slimserver." I have to go to my machine, wake it up myself and then everything is fine.

    How do I configure this wake-up feature?

    thanks.

    You need to configure your server to use 'Wake-on-lan'.

    http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-101 looks like it has the information you need.

      Check this thread (found after a search for "wake on lan")
