[QUOTE="Ausdigital, post: 603262, member: 82641"] Hi Craig, Thanks for the link. I have been using the GUI made by Depicus for a few years now to turn on my media centre remotely and vnc into it. But when dealing with children, things need to simple and easy to use. Hence the need for a batch file, with a shortcut on the desktop. The "wolcmd" executable file was downloaded [URL="http://rapidshare.com/files/136196263/wolcmd.rar.html"]here[/URL] and placed in the same folder as a batch file written as wolcmd [mac address] [ipaddress] [subnet mask] [port]. For example (without the port and masked mac address) mine is - wolcmd.exe xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 192.168.0.253 255.255.255.255 A shortcut is then placed on the desktop of all the clients. It works without fault, wakes up the media center which now resumes after hibernation within a minute. ----------------------------------- Just had a look at your link.... the exe file is a link at the bottom... well, didn't see that the fist time. excellent observation Craig. thanks.
