Wake-on-LAN feature (o como encender PC's de forma remota)
Algo que llevo usando algún tiempo y que a alguién le puede venir bien:
Encender PC's a distancia.
Hay que configurarlo en la BIOS del sistema y luego también en la propiedades de la tarjeta de red (Ethernet).
Despúes, basta usar un programita ( en mi caso, uno gratuito Solarwinds Free Wake-on-LAN) y conocer la dirección IP y la MAC del equipo, y dicho programa envía un "magic packet" que al recibirlo el equipo apagado, hace que éste se encienda.
En mi caso, realmente útil si lo combino con Windows 2000 Server y Remote Desktop Connection, que permite que 2 usuarios trabajen al mismo tiempo sobre el mismo equipo sin interrumpirse mutuamente.

I've been using this feature for some time and I find it pretty interesting.
The idea is to be able to switch ON PC's in a remotely way (the only requisite is to have communication with the equipment, as you can imagine).
You need to activate it at the BIOS of the machine and also you need to go the properties of the LAN (Ethernet) card and active "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".
Later, you only need to know the MAC and IP addresses of the PC and with a program like Solarwinds Free Wake-on-LAN you send a "magic packet" to the system, switching it on.
Combined with Windows 2000 Server and Remote Desktop Connection, you don't need to be near a PC to work with it. You can be thousands of kilometers far apart and you are working on it like if you were there.
I really love this two features!!!
