    I have a suite of computers (hp 8740w's) used within my scope of work. Yes, a little dated, but one gets what uncle Sam gives you in my case. Anyway, I have a Wake on Lan configuration set up ala a co worker's help and the issue is: the computers wont WAKE ON LAN. Go to sleep?yes. SHutdown AND restart? yes. Wake from being off? no. Ive definitely got network connectivity the whole time. Ive checked he network adaptor settings and they are all set to corresponding Wake on Lan settings. What I CANT seem to find are Wake on Lan settings in BIOS. I see Wake on USB, but not LAN. Are they absent in this model's BIOS? Is that the issue? Is there a resolution? PS--- BIOS revision 68CAD Ver F.08

    thanks in advance everyone.
