Hi Guys,

I'm posting about my progress with getting the Wakeonlan to work.

I've installed openssh-server on 'THE_MACHINE_I_WANT_TO_WAKE'. I've set things up so they should work on it. Editted a file to enable wol all the time.

As you can see on the console output below, I've remotely logged on to the machine and called 'sudo halt' to halt it which has worked. I've got a monitor pluuged in to the other machine and it says 'reboot : system halted'.

Then I try to use powerwake with the IP address of THE_MACHINE_I_WANT_TO_WAKE but nothing happens at all.

So I'm stuck.

There is this page I might consider
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/981461

but I think that I can't do it because I just don't know what I'm doing.

BTW, how does one usually get a halted ubuntu to start again from the keyboard?
