Mac Mini Wake on Lan
- by ILMV
My Mac Mini has a setting in the Energy Saver category called Wake for Ethernet network access.
Now the way I read this option is that any network access to the Mac whilst it is asleep will wake it up, but it doesn't.
I have read that I have to send it the magic packet to wake it up, but what I really want to do is be able to simply attempt to access the Mini over the network and it wake up on demand without sending a magic packet.
Can this be done? If it helps I am using a Netgear router.
