I have a windows 2000 professional system in my basement. It is my main box and the router I use to give my brother inet through ICS. I want to be able to set it up so that he can use wake on lan to turn it on, and then use windows XP remote desktop to log on to the inet. The only concern I have is that I have heard that WOL doesnt work well through hubs, since they arent managed. I dont know how to set up my 2000 box as a remote desktop host, nor do I know how to configure him to send me a wake on lan signal.
 
WOL shuld work fine over a hub, it should send the packet to every port and the correct one will wake up. It is a boradcast so routers will stop it from working (accross router not on the same side) I think I have a link somewhere about setting up remote desktop on xp however I don't understand what you are trying todo. Why does he need to use remote desktop to log into the internet?
 
first off, i want to know how he can use WOL to turn on my computer.

second, i want to set it up so he can use remote desktop to control my 2000 machine.
