[QUOTE="rmeredit, post: 750486, member: 49299"] Hi Pavel, What you need to look at is Wake on LAN (often abbreviated to WoL). You can get software on your iPhone/iPad (or just about any other platform) that can perform the wake command, but you need to set up your computer to be able to listen for the command, you also need to set up your router/modem to pass the command on to the sleeping computer if you're trying to wake it from outside of your home network. I use an app called Wake on my iPhone (it's in the app store, pretty cheap as I recall but not free). I set up port forwarding on my router to forward incoming traffic on port 7 to my HTPC. I also set up an external domain name using a free dynamic domain-name service (my router supports updating the service with my dynamic IP address from my ISP). Finally, I configured my computer's BIOS to accept the WoL command. Took me a while to get it all working, but it's been seamless ever since. If you are going to tackle it, get the WoL working from within your home network first before moving on to try to get it working from outside (eg. over a 3G mobile phone network). Good luck!
