In the energy control panel I set "wake from sleep on remote access"

How can I wake up the machine remotely? I'm trying to SSH to it but that doesn't seem to work. That's about all I have turned on. Let me know.

Thanks

not on the remote computer. If ARD can do it how come there is no third party tool to do it over tcp/ip?

I believe there is, it's called "WakeUp"; however, you would need the MAC address off the machine in order to make it work and since you can't SSH into it to get that information, you may be stuck until the morning...

You can use this site.

You need the IP of either the computer itself if you have no router, or of the router if that has your public IP, and then the MAC address of your ethernet card in the computer you want to wake.

This works for me behind a router both Linksys and Netgear.

Just make sure you keep the waking for admin access active.
