    I'm trying to use WOL over the Internet on my Dell Studio 1749, but I can't get it to work. When my computer is running and a friend in another city sends a WOL packet my computer receives it. But when the computer is turned off nothing happens. I can't find any WOL option in BIOS and when my computer is turned off there's no light activity next to the LAN-port where the network cable is. Is it simply so that the Studio 1749 doesn't support WOL?
