Trae 1 #1 August 16, 2005 Is it possible to access some-one elses computer while it is switched off but still connected at the switched on power point. ?(this is if the computer has no infra -red capabilities..and not permanently conected to the web ) Does this sort of thing happen a lot around the place? I'd feel honoured if some-one would/could access my graphics station which is different to this lap-top I'm using now as the GS has no direct web link but is often left on at the switch but turned off at the computer.. Is this possible anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Knobee 0 #2 August 16, 2005 Quote Is it possible to access some-one elses computer while it is switched off [..] Nope. Well, there is "wake-on-lan" and other stuff, but under "normal" circumstances, no. Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.

Yup, some of the motherboards that I've played with recently have several "wake-on" feature -- lan, usb, serial, mouse, kbd, etc. but none of these are anything near what the original poster was looking for, I don't think. Man, wake-on-modem... that's old-school. I fondly remember my 110baud modem and the days of the dialup BBS. *SIGH* Those that have not jumped can not understand Those that have jumped can not explain.
