Dear Kevin Hodgson,
We apologise for the delay in responding to your e-mail.
Regarding your enquiry, we have verified our records and found wake on LAN option is not provided with your computer. However, the LAN card LED should glow when the ethernet cable is connected to it, even if the computer is turned off or in sleep mode.
For further assistance please do not hesitate to e-mail or contact us on 0871 760 1000 (UK), 0818 202 210 (Eire).
Regards

gainusha Wrote:I don't have a revo but i have a question for you. Did you try WOL when using a different OS?
I have a dell and at the beginning i was using ubuntu+xbmc and WOL was working perfectly. Then, because of DVXA, i moved to xp and WOL was still working perfectly. Last month, again because of DVXA, i migrated to 7. WOL stopped working. I have checked all settings of the LAN driver and i still haven't managed to make it work...
I have read on some forums that you need to install and run as service "Simple TCPIP services" in order to activate WOL but i haven't tried it yet.
On other forums i have found that activating "Enable PME" in driver parameters should do the trick but i don't have this option on my PC...
Hope it helps...
