A friend of mine sent me this link describing people who had trouble getting wake on lan to work in an earlier version of Fedora: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-63763.html The key was to find out what the operating system was seeing. In Fedora, this is done using ethtool to examine the features of your NIC: sudo ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports

I tried running the Dell Diagnostics program on the SC1430. http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?fileid=178199 Complicating matters, I run Linux. Even so, Diagnostics depends on your server being IPMI compatible ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface ). The Dell site for Linux engineering ( http://linux.dell.com/ ) shows the IPMI compatible systems http://linux.dell.com/ipmi.shtml Unfortunately, the SC1430 is not one of them. Out of luck on

I did a packet trace on the Magic Packet that ether-wake is sending. It seems to be properly formed, with a payload of six ones (hex FF FF FF FF FF FF) followed by sixteen reps of the servers' MAC. I also tried a broadcast packet of the same information. No luck. So it looks to be a hardware issue at this point. I'm going to run Dell Diagnostics 2.7 tonight to see if that will give me any answers. 'sodo sudo ether-wake -DV 00:1a:a0:ae:24:c5 ether-wake.c: v1.09 11/12/2003 Donald Becker

Hi guys, Can't get wake on lan to work on my SC1430. Here are my specs: - BIOS v1.4.0 with the NIC "enabled with PXE" selected - Broadcom Boot Agent v8.2.6 with PreBoot Wake on Lan enabled Though the Broadcom utility is pretty spartan, I used the Broadcom Boot Agent to test the link lights at least. I've tried using ether-wake (from the etherboot tools) and net-wake to wake up the server to no avail. With ether-wake, I tried the four boot strap types (auto, int18h, in19h, bbs).

The dialog may be stuttering due to problems playing back the audio. I believe this may be the same issue as I had in Fedora. Try using an external audio interface, either USB or Firewire. My trail of tears is posted as a link in the same blog entry you read on my website at the link in the post above.

tdilly, I am somewhat of an anamoly, as I run Fedora 7 (Linux) on the box. However, having said that, yes, I can play DVDs using my HP DVD Writer 940d. Not sure about others' experiences. The main issue I've experienced with the box was a weird clicking noise under Fedora with a Creative Labs Audigy card. As a workaround, I got an external USB audio interface, the MAudio MobilePre and the noise did not appear using that device. I'm interested to hear how you do Be advised that the 8x-16x adapter
