I can't seem to get the server to wake-up sleep when I want to, or is there a Nic card I can buy that will do this for me.Thank you Hello, I built my own server using an old Dell Dimension 4600, Do you know if the BOIS has wake on lan function.

If so, how are you finding the performance?I ask because I have a home server I plan to use for a similar purpose but was a little concerned that network latency might be an issue. I do still plan to try it. After reading your post, however, I thought I'd ask if you noticed and performance issue.Thanks Nice post; however, I have a couple quick follow up questions if you don’t mind.
