That's probably why NetAwake works but these internet services don't.3576f71f198a2602450270682d08fc93Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:04:07 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/netawake.html#commentsvery nice app. i wonder tho, why it works when allother wol services on the internet do not with my computer at home. what makes this app so special? 367012ad26ce88bf74453172469623c7Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:21:08 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/netawake.html#commentsSleeping is much more difficult. There's no "Sleep-on-LAN" protocol to implement. It would have to use something like SSH or remote Apple Events to trigger the sleep, which is a lot more complicated. Probably not going to happen.d5676cb3b83af074d83195356c40b5bfWed, 04 Nov 2009 16:47:55 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/netawake.html#commentsBrilliant app Mike. Much appreciated your efforts in producing and app that is not only free but does what it says on the tin !. Keep up the good work. <br />Cheers <br />Tim <br /> <br />P.S Any chance of an app that sleeps it also !!501b4d2eeeb9f26feb3334c36ba15307Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:01:38 GMThttp://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/netawake.html#commentsCertainly can.
