[QUOTE="igalan, post: 25219, member: 13477"] You are confusing hibernation with suspend (S1 or S3). They are completely different power modes. In hibernation the state of the machine (RAM, I/O, etc) is saved to the hard-drive, and then the computer is powered off. When suspend mode is activated, the CPU clock is slowed down, harddrives and optical drives are powered off, PCI cards go into lower power mode, USB devices are shut down (if supported) but RAM and motherboard remain active. This is why suspend uses a lot of energy. BTW integrating WOL into Webinterface does not help at all for your intended purpose. When the PC is hibernating or powered off, the CPU is shut down, no program is running, so there's no way to access the Webinterface. The program that lauches the WOL packet is sent from an active computer, this computer can wake up others with this "magic" packed if the other computers support this feature (to be supported you need that all the elements are compatible with this feature: PSU, motherboard, network card and OS).
