Hi,

I have read your replies.

I just bought a dell optiplex 745 (small form factor), and it has an option to put the WOL.

I understand and can do it.

My questions is:
can you wake a pc up from a wifi usb adapter ? The idea will be to plug this usb adapter on a self powered usb Hub (to provide its own power) and send some packets over the wifi, and have the pc wake up when it receive those packets.

Do you think it is even possible, or the best solution remains to plug the computer with the Ethernet cable, directly to the router (and using the DDns integrated to the router, to avoid the IP change from comcast ) ?

thanks

Sebastien
