my Mac

Continuing the theme of how to work remotely on a Mac OSX 10.4 , today I learned to make WakeOnLAN. That is, to wake a sleeping Mac is (almost off) by sending a special UDP packet.
The most useful page I found is this MacOSXhints.com: Wake a Mac from a PC and vice versa .
The steps are:

1. Check the options in "Energy Saver" that is set to "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access"
2. Check and record the data network connection (wired, wireless does not work) in Utilities-> Network Utility. Record the MAC address (I listed as "Hardware Address") IP address (IP Address / es).
3. Put Mac to sleep (Manzanita-> Sleep)
4. Now, from the Windows computer, download an application that serves to WOL, for example WOL Magic Packet Sender. Sign
5. the same network as the Mac (eg, via VPN) Open
   
6. of software and enter the IP address in Host Name and MAC address in MAC Address. Ready
7. send the WOL magic packet ... and my Mac magically turns on. Now I can access your Mac via SSH or VNC.

PD. If you read this and did not get it, sorry, will soon return to our regularly scheduled programming.
