not sure what your proposing but if it means that the router sends a 'magic packet' to any machine that someoneone is trying to access but its turned off... add my vote

at the moment here, everyone has to run a program & send a magic packet manually should they find the server or another system asleep (cost of power means everything sleeps). this may be alright if your trying to access from a pc, but if your trying to access from a mediatank you have to first fire up a pc, then send the packet, then turn off the pc and reconnect with the mediatank. pain in the butt.

it would be great if the router sensed if the machine that was being accessed is asleep and sent the packet to wake it.

cheers :)
