Wake Up on Lan???

[pillage2001]

A simple question, please don't fire me. ;P. How do I utilise the Wake On Lan function of the NIC? I've already connected the WON socket on my MObo to my NIC. How do I wake my friends PC up using normal win98se??

A "magic packet" has to be broadcast over the LAN. AMD web site has a program that does this.

this article provides some quick info on Wake on Lan:

It mentions Landesk client manager by Intel as well as magic packet.

Where to get it? I looked all over the net for it already. Can an Intel based pc use the Magic Packet from AMD? I have 2 AMD and 2 Intel systems at home.
