Can you elaborate on what your hardware setup is? AFAIK, a generic PCI
LAN card cannot wake up a PC. It need to be specially designed for this
purpose and have a cable which goes directly from the card to the
motherboard. And it only works in ATX systems, of course.

I don't have any capable hardware, so I can't really say if this program
works or not. Wake on LAN is only useful if you ever turn your machines
off, which I don't. 'cept my laptop, of course.
