i'm trying to find a way of waking the imac remotly. its connected to a airport base via ethernet and has a large firewire drive attached. Now i use go to server to mount the firewire drive on the powerbook so i have tried "wake550" and "wakeup" but neither can wake it, it still sleeps soundly. at the moment i set the imac's power mangment to shut screen and harddrive when it can but for the system not to sleep. but i'd like it to sleep totally if only for power mangment. and electcity bills.

Did you tick the box marked 'wake up for administrative purposes'?

Have you tried sending it the magic wakeup network packet?

Reading back... Er, possibly.
There's a trivial perl script here:
<http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/_Magic_packet__generating_script_has been_released__WakeUp_on_Lan.html>
which may do it. I haven't tried it myself...
I just ran it across my bit of Ethernet and it woke up my TiBook. I tried it across my wireless LAN (I use a Vigor base-station/router) and it didn't wake up my TiBook. I suspect that the Airport card does not support the magic packet.
