Hi,It will bee cool to have the possibility to wake up the ReadyNas by the network (with magical packet like 'ether-wake MAC ADDR' under linux).So, it is maybe not possible, because when the readyNas is shutdown, the LAN interface is down ... It is because there is no low power on motherboard after a shutdown ? (no wake up lan ?) Thank's to look at that ...Ludo.

It's called Wake-On-LAN... and it's not specific to Linux -- it's a standard...And it would be a great addition (if the hardware supports it).

If it is do-able then it would indeed be a wonderful feature. Either this or a timed shutdown/restart capability would be fabulous.

Bump. I also requested the ability to shut down the readynas after a specific delay (or at a specific time).I'm again transferring a large amount of files to my box tonight but don't want to have to get up in the middle of the night to power it off... so again that ability to shut down at a specific time (or after a delay) would be useful.

WOL and PowerDown after an steable idle time would be great.

By the way: how can I normaly power up an normal PC in Windows?

Even the ability to spin-down the hard drives would be nice. (My NAS never seems to go to sleep)

Look in your BIOS features. It's usually on the Power Saving screen of options. Look for "Wake on Lan" and "PCI Events bring out of standby"

Big question is:

What do I have to do to send another PC a signal to wake up???
