tommie gorman Posted November 16, 2008 CID Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hope this helps. PROPOSAL AMD and Hewlett Packard identified this problem almost 2 years ago and began working to find a solution to the problem of the networked Green PC ( Green being the industry term for a PC that goes into lowpower mode upon sensing no activity). This collaboration resulted in a proposal for an industry standard mechanism that allows a networked PC to go completely asleep (Deep Green), yet still allows the network administrator or some kind of network management software to wake up the PC simply by sending it a specific Ethernet frame. This standard Ethernet frame contains a specific data pattern detected by the Ethernet controller on the receiving end. The Ethernet controller then alerts the system and the power management circuitry wakes it up. Below are details on the silicon implementation of Magic Packet Technology, as well as some of the system and software implications. http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/20213.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchet Posted November 16, 2008 Author CID Share Posted November 16, 2008 tg, this all works fine for me, however, if I understand the directions I should be able to save my ip and mac addie as opposed to inputting it each time. I can't seem to get the "save hosts" field to function! http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/P/C/N/E/PCNET-FAMILY.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
