Summary
With Mac OS X you can share your music, printers, files, and even your screen with other computers on your network. Previous to Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, items shared by your Mac were only available when your Mac was awake. With the new Wake on Demand feature in Mac OS X v10.6 and an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule, you can see and access shared items even if your Mac is asleep. This helps you save energy and reduce costs while still ensuring full access to all your shared files and devices, even remotely across the Internet.
Note: This service requires an Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule with firmware 7.4.2 or later installed. To use Wake on Demand wirelessly with a WPA or WPA2 network, the AirPort base station or Time Capsule must be hosting the network.
> Assuming you have a Mac, you can set the computer to wake when contacted by the network.
This used to be true only if you were connected by ethernet; i.e., NOT if your connection was wireless.
Has that been fixed?
