Hi,
I have a slight problem with WOL. I need to be able to use WOL on my main workstation (P3-750 (Powerleap Slocket) on Asus P2B, 256 MB RAM, W2K). For some reason, if I connect the WOL cable, the computer will shut down, wait a little while, and then start back up. Without the WOL-capable network card (but with a non-WOL card, same brand), it works without a problem and never starts up on its own. Here are the computers on this network:
Linux 2.4.3 Server
2x450 Celerons
Epox KP6-BS MB
Linksys Card v2, WOL not connected or enabled in BIOS
runs 24x7x365
provides NFS, NAT, DHCP, HTTP, FTP, SMB services
W2K Workstation
750 p3 on powerleap slocket
asus p2b mb
Linksys card v4, WOL connected and enabled
NT 4 Workstation
p100
Made by Dell
Linksys card v1 (not WOL capable)
iOpener converted to LTSP terminal (boots over NFS/remote X)
linksys usb network adaptor
websurfer converted to LTSP terminal
linksys v4 adaptor, wol not connected or enabled
All are connected over an 8-port linksys switch. The linux server has a seperate NE2000 compliant network card that connects to a cable modem. The network runs without a problem (except for this WOL glitch). My theory is that the linux server is sending out the magic packets (maybe querying the workstations) for some reason. Can anybody provide any direction on this?
Thanks.
