[OPLINTECH] Poweroff

[Chad Neeper]

  You didn't specifically say that you're having problem with the remote 
power-on, but just in case:  In addition to what Jim said about enabling 
a schedule in the BIOS for automated wake-up...if you're using a magic 
packet-based remote wake-up, then you may need to enable that in the 
BIOS as well. Also, in Windows, you may need to enable it in the Device 
Manager usually under the network card's properties in the Advanced tab.

I agree. The staff definitely like it when the computers auto-start and 
auto-shut down. I certainly hear about it if it DOESN'T work! LOL!
