    What does not knowing the IP address of Comcast's DNS servers have to do with getting a shell session to a subscriber's home machine?

    I would suggest you contact Comcast. They might be able to help you out

    Ahhhh, the optimism of the hopelessly naive. Remember, the people working at the cable ISPs are there for a reason: they were too dumb to get jobs at the phone company.

    Tell me if my standards are too high, but when the Tier 3 support for an ISP servicing Indianapolis, IN can't even find Indiana on a map, you know you're fucked for paying them.

    Kennedy's moon mission was just about getting there and bank so we could thumb our noses at the Soviet Union. Neener neener neener. If we go again, the mission is different.

    That's right. This time, it's about more than just going to the bank. The first trips were to case the joint, now NASA is going back to pull off the heist of the millenium so they can use the moon money thus obtained to fund future projects.

    Unless you route them, of course. Cisco can route or block directed broadcasts. If you allow them, you can wake up PCs in remote subnets using magic packets. Watch out for increased traffic though!!

    Another solution is to have a PC on each subnet designated as the "wakeup machine". Install $WOL_UTILIY on each, then send out the packets local to each subnet.

    With 500 PCs, MS SMS might be worth looking into. I'm looking at the SMS Wakeup from E1 right now, since I can't keep these wonderful people from turning off their PCs. SUS got to be so unwieldy, when we upgraded to SMS with the Update stuff it was a huge relief. Never tried WUS, it was vapor for over a year before we upgraded.

  16. Re:24/7 uptime for all workstations as corp policy on Power Management and Networks? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wake on LAN is primarliy a NIC/driver/motherboard issue. From what you are saying, your PCs support it, but you are not sending the right kind of wakeup call. When a PC that's in standby or "off" receives a magic packet (which is what I've looked into), a wake up frame or the link state changes (depending on what you set it to do), the PC turns on. (getting them to standby/sleep reliably is harder. WoL can usually be handled without the OS) Check out magic packet info and MS reference.
